Answer:
sqrt(146)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between these two points can be the hypotenuse of our right triangle.
We can create a right triangle with two legs of length 11 and 5. To solve for the hypotenuse, we apply the pythagorean theorem
sqrt(5^2+11^2)=sqrt(146)
I attached a graph to help you visualize the triangle and how it works.
