To calculate the distance between points J and K, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
In this case, J = (1,5) and K = (5,0)
So, x1 = 1, y1 = 5, x2 = 5, y2 = 0
Distance = sqrt((5-1)^2 + (0-5)^2)
Distance = sqrt(16 + 25)
Distance = sqrt(41)
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the distance between points J and K is approximately 6 units.
