To find the distance between the roses and the lilies, we can use the distance formula.
Let the coordinates of the roses be (5, 4) and the coordinates of the lilies be (2, 2).
Using the distance formula √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2), we have:
√((5 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2)
= √(3^2 + 2^2)
= √(9 + 4)
= √13
Therefore, the distance between the roses and the lilies is √13 feet.
