Apply the distance formula
d+=+sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29

d+=+sqrt%28%280-2%29%5E2%2B%287-5%29%5E2%29

d+=+sqrt%28%28-2%29%5E2%2B%282%29%5E2%29

d+=+sqrt%284%2B4%29

d+=+sqrt%288%29

d+=+sqrt%284%2A2%29

d+=+sqrt%284%29%2Asqrt%282%29

d+=+2%2Asqrt%282%29 The exact distance in simplified radical form

d+=+2.828427 The approximate distance
