To find the distance between two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we use the formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case, (2, 5) is the point (x1, y1) and (7, 3) is the point (x2, y2).
Substituting the values into the formula:
d = √((7 - 2)^2 + (3 - 5)^2)
= √(5^2 + (-2)^2)
= √(25 + 4)
= √29
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, √29 ≈ 5.39.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 5.38.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 5.38.
