<solution>
<div class="detailed-solution">
<p>Explanation</p>
<p>The decimal numerical system is base ten.</p>
<p>The standard gravity constant is defined to be precisely 9.80665 m/s<sup>2</sup>.
This is 9.80 to two decimal places. Entering 9.8 also works.</p>
<p>By the distance formula, the distance between two points in the plane is
the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences of each coordinate.
Even though an exact numerical value is checked in this case, the
easiest way to enter this answer is to type
<code>sqrt(pi^2+e^2)</code> into the editor.
Other answers like <code>sqrt((pi-0)^2+(0-e)^2)</code> also work.
