d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)


d = sqrt((19-9)^2+(-29-(-5))^2)


d = sqrt((19-9)^2+(-29+5)^2)


d = sqrt((10)^2+(-24)^2)


d = sqrt(100+576)


d = sqrt(676)


d = 26


So exact distance between the two points is 26 units.

The formula is
+d+=+sqrt+%28+%28+-29+-+%28-5%29+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+19+-+9+%29%5E2+%29+
+d+=+sqrt+%28+%28-24%29%5E2+%2B+10%5E2+%29+
+d+=+sqrt+%28+576+%2B+100+%29+
+d+=+sqrt%28+676+%29+
+d+=+26+

Let d = distance between the two points.

d = sqrt{(19 - 9)^2 + (-29 -(-5))^2}

d = sqrt{(10)^2 + (-24)^2}

d = sqrt{100 + 576}

d = sqrt{676}

d = 26

Done!
