Answer:

$d=√(106)\ units$

Explanation:

We know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}$

Let

A(-4,2) -----> Adam's house

B(5,7) -----> Hospital

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(7-2)^(2)+(5+4)^(2)}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^(2)+(9)^(2)}$

$d=√(106)\ units$
