To find the length between the two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we will use the following formula:
c = √(a^2 + b^2)
In this case, the two points are located at coordinates (9, 6) and (40, 5).
a = 40 - 9 = 31
b = 5 - 6 = -1
Now we can plug these values into the formula:
c = √(31^2 + (-1)^2)
c = √(961 + 1)
c = √962
c ≈ 31
Therefore, the length between the two points is approximately 31 units.
