  In this note, we consider a complete intersection $X=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n :
f_1(x)= \ldots = f_m(x)=0\}, n>m$ and study its Euclidean distance degree in
terms of the mixed volume of the Newton polytopes. We show that if the Newton
polytopes of $f_j,j=1,\ldots, m$ contain the origin then when these polynomials
are generic with respect to their Newton polytopes, the Euclidean distance
degree of $X$ can be computed in terms of the mixed volume of Newton polytopes
associated to $f_j$. This is a generalization for the result by P. Breiding, F.
Sottile and J. Woodcock in case $m=1$.
