$(1, 1)$ , $(3, 3)$

Step 1

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

$Distance = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}$

Step 2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

$\sqrt{{(3 - 1)}^{2} + {(3 - 1)}^{2}}$

Step 3

Simplify.

Step 3.1

Subtract $1$ from $3$ .

$\sqrt{2^{2} + {(3 - 1)}^{2}}$

Step 3.2

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$\sqrt{4 + {(3 - 1)}^{2}}$

Step 3.3

Subtract $1$ from $3$ .

$\sqrt{4 + 2^{2}}$

Step 3.4

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$\sqrt{4 + 4}$

Step 3.5

Add $4$ and $4$ .

$\sqrt{8}$

Step 3.6

Rewrite $8$ as $2^{2} \cdot 2$ .
