Seems to be a poorly worded question. Is this the question word for word?

anonymous · Answer

i understand what this is asking

anonymous · Answer

horizontal leg is 6

anonymous · Answer

Yeah this is the question word for word .

anonymous · Answer

The value of the horizontal leg is just the difference between their x values.
So x2-x1 would be it.
9-3=6

anonymous · Answer

from 3 to 9 is 6 to the right

anonymous · Answer

vertical leg is 1

anonymous · Answer

and so the hypotenuse, which is the distance between the two points is 
$$\sqrt{6^2+1^2}=\sqrt{37}$$
