Calculate the distance between (-2 - 5i) and (1 + 3i)

d = sqrt (73)

d is approximately 8.544003745

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance we use the formula

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

where x are the real coordinates and y is the imaginary coordinates

d = sqrt ((1--2) ^2 + (3--5) ^2)

d = sqrt ((1+2) ^2 + (3+5) ^2)

d = sqrt ((3) ^2 + (8) ^2)

d = sqrt (9+64)

d = sqrt (73)

d is approximately 8.544003745
