ReQd distance=sqrt(65^2+75^2)=5sqrt(13^2+15^2)
=5sqrt(169+225)=5xaqrt(394)=5x19.85=99.25km.

if u complete the line from the starting till the end point you would get a right triangle.
Use the pyathogoras theorem to get the distance.
which is equal to sqrt( 65 square + 75 square) =

c² = a² + b²
c² = 65² + 75²
c² = 99.25 km

Y(ou)
YN = 65
NE = 75
distance = YE
YE^2 = YN^2 + NE^2
= (65*65) + (75*75)
= 9850 km * km
so, YE = sqrt (9580 km*km)
= 99.25 km
