Answer:

The answer is

[tex]6 \sqrt{2} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 8.50 \: \: \: \: units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\ [/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The points are D(2, 0) and E(8, 6

The distance between them is

[tex] |DE| = \sqrt{ ({2 - 8})^{2} + ({0 - 6})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{( { - 6})^{2} + ( { - 6})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{36 + 36} \\ = \sqrt{72} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 6 \sqrt{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 8.4852813[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]6 \sqrt{2} \: \: \: or \: \: \: 8.50 \: \: \: \: units[/tex]

Hope this helps you
