Answer

$\sqrt{5} \approx 2.24$ units

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: $d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(5-3)^2} \\d=\sqrt{1^2+2^2} \\d=\sqrt{1+4} \\d=\sqrt{5} \\d \approx 2.24$
