First of all to calculate the distance between two points we can use distance formula
d=Square Root [(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
Now substitute the given points p(x1,y1) and q(x2,y2)in above distance formula
The values are X2=3, X1=8and Y2=8and Y1=2.
After Substituting the values
d=Square Root[(-5)^2+(6)^2]
d=Square Root(25+36]
d=Square Root[61]
d=7.8
7.8 is the distance between points P(8, 2) and Q(3, 8) to the nearest tenth.
