Given the two points             (              x        1            ,              y        1            )                    and                    (              x        2            ,              y        2            )      , the Distance between them is given by the formula:                    d        =                                                            (                                  x                  2                                -                                  x                  1                                )                            2                        +                                          (                                  y                  2                                -                                  y                  1                                )                            2                                          Here, the coordinates of the points are (5,8)and(5,1)            d              C        D              =                                        (            5            -            5            )                    2                +                              (            1            -            8            )                    2                                                              (            0            )                    2                +                              (            -            7            )                    2                                        0        +        49                                49            = 7 unitsThe distance from C(5, 8) to D(5, 1) is 7 units.
