Answer:

8.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the distance, find the hypotenus using Pythagoras rule :

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

Hypotenus² = 4² + 7²

Hypotenus² = 16 + 49

Hypotenus² = 65

Hypotenus = √65

Hypotenus = 8.06

Hypotenus = distance between the two points = 8.06 units
