Answer

$13$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The distance between the points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ can be found using the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$ Use the formula above to obtain: $d=\sqrt{(14-2)^2+(8-3)^2} \\d=\sqrt{12^2+5^2} \\d=\sqrt{144+25} \\d=\sqrt{169} \\d=\sqrt{13^2} \\d=13$
