# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify coordinates of A and B
Let's assume each grid square has a side length of 1 unit. From the grid, we can determine the coordinates:
- Point A: Let's say the coordinates of A are $(-4, 1)$ (by counting the grid units from the origin $O$).
- Point B: Let's say the coordinates of B are $(4, 5)$ (by counting the grid units from the origin $O$).

## Step2: Apply the distance formula
The distance formula between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$.
Substituting $x_1 = -4$, $y_1 = 1$, $x_2 = 4$, and $y_2 = 5$ into the formula:
$$
\begin{align*}
d&=\sqrt{(4 - (-4))^2 + (5 - 1)^2}\
&=\sqrt{(4 + 4)^2 + (4)^2}\
&=\sqrt{(8)^2 + (4)^2}\
&=\sqrt{64 + 16}\
&=\sqrt{80}\
&\approx 8.9
\end{align*}
$$
