What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (4, 5)?

To find the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system, we can apply the distance formula. The distance

      d =       √((x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²)

      where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of the two points.

   We have the following points:
        (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)
        (x₂, y₂) = (4, 5)

      Substituting these values into the distance formula gives us:

      d = √((4 – 2)² + (5 – 3)²)
      = √(2² + 2²)
      = √(4 + 4)
      = √(8)
      = 2√2

    Therefore, the distance between the points (2, 3) and (4, 5) is approximately 2.83 units.
