This is a question from coordinate geometry. This is a very simple question. You can solve it by using distance formula.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

First we have to assume the coordinates as following:-

Let the coordinates of A be (8,4) and coordinates of B be (5,1).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Further we have to assume:-

$\mapsto\sf{X_1=8}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\mapsto \sf{Y_1=4}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\mapsto \sf{X_2=5}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\mapsto \sf{Y_2=1}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Here we have distance formula:-

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({X_2-X_1) }^{2} + {( Y_2-Y_1) }^{2} } }$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({5 - 8) }^{2} + {( 4 - 1) }^{2} } }$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({ - 3) }^{2} + {( 3) }^{2} } }$

‎

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{9+ 9 } }$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{18} }$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

$\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= 3 \sqrt{2} cm }$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

This is your final answer.
