Answer:
~7.81
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean theorem or distance formula to solve this.
In this case, I will use Pythagorean theorem, think of the line segment as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2(where c is the hypotenuse)
a=5
b=6
5^2=25
6^2=36
25+36=61
[tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex]= approximately 7.81.
