Answer: distance = [tex]\sqrt{290}[/tex], or in fully simplified form, distance = 17.029386
Step-by-step explanation: (disclaimer! im not sure what LaTeX means in this case, but if you just needed the distance between the two points in this case then i can help)
1. the distance formula is d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
2. you substitute the values for x and y: d= [tex]\sqrt{(13-2)^{2} +(20-7)^2}[/tex]
3. simplify: distance =[tex]\sqrt{290}[/tex], or, when you use a calculator to simplify that even more, you get distance = 17.029386
I hope this helps you! :)
