The answer is 5 

Here are the steps:

First off, we will be using the distance formula of 
\(d=\sqrt{(x_ {2}- x_{2}) ^{2}+( y_{2}- y_{1})^2 }\)

So we have the ordered pairs of (3,1) and (6,5)

Once you plug them into the formula it should look like this: 
\(d= \sqrt{(6-3)^2+(5-1)^2}\)

Now we do the math inside the parenthesis and end up with:
\(d=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\)

Then you multiply by the power and simplify to get:
\(d=\sqrt{25}\)

And the \(\sqrt{25}\)=5

So your answer is 5
