On a state map, a cartographer plots geocity at coordinates (5, 8) and shapetown at coordinates (11, 16). how far is it from geocity to shapetown?

We can solve for the distance between Geocity to Shapetown using the formula for the distance between two points which is shown below:
d² = (x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
Such as we have two points:
Geocity (5,8)
Shapetown (11,16)

Solving for the distance, we have:
d² = (11-5)² + (16-8)²
d² = 6² + 8²
d = 10

The answer is 10 units.
