To find the distance between the points (2, 5) and (7, 3) using the Pythagorean theorem, we can treat the distance as the hypotenuse of a right triangle where the legs are the differences in the coordinates.

1. Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates:
\( \Delta x = 7 - 2 = 5 \)

2. Calculate the difference in the y-coordinates:
\( \Delta y = 3 - 5 = -2 \)
(The absolute value is \( 2 \), but the sign doesn't affect the distance.)

3. Use the Pythagorean theorem:
\( d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2} \)
\( d = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-2)^2} \)
\( d = \sqrt{25 + 4} \)
\( d = \sqrt{29} \)

4. Calculate \( \sqrt{29} \):
\( \sqrt{29} \approx 5.385 \)

Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives us:
**5.39**

Thus, the length between (2, 5) and (7, 3) is **5.39**.

Let’s double-check the calculations for the distance between the points (2, 5) and (7, 3).

1. **Identify the coordinates:**
- Point A: (2, 5)
- Point B: (7, 3)

2. **Calculate the differences in coordinates:**
- \( \Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 7 - 2 = 5 \)
- \( \Delta y = y_2 - y_1 = 3 - 5 = -2 \)

3. **Apply the Pythagorean theorem:**
- The distance \( d \) is given by:
\[
d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2}
\]
- Plugging in the values:
\[
d = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-2)^2}
\]
- Calculate the squares:
\[
d = \sqrt{25 + 4}
\]
- Combine the results:
\[
d = \sqrt{29}
\]

4. **Calculate \( \sqrt{29} \):**
- Using a calculator, \( \sqrt{29} \approx 5.385164807 \).

5. **Round to the nearest hundredth:**
- This gives us approximately **5.39**.

So, yes, the distance between the points (2, 5) and (7, 3) is indeed **5.39**. Thank you for your patience, and feel free to ask if you have any further questions!

Sure! Let's find the distance between the points \((-1, 6)\) and \((5, -2)\) using the Pythagorean theorem.

1. **Identify the coordinates:**
- Point A: \((-1, 6)\)
- Point B: \((5, -2)\)

2. **Calculate the differences in coordinates:**
- \( \Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6 \)
- \( \Delta y = y_2 - y_1 = -2 - 6 = -8 \)

3. **Apply the Pythagorean theorem:**
- The distance \( d \) is given by:
\[
d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2}
\]
- Plugging in the values:
\[
d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (-8)^2}
\]
- Calculate the squares:
\[
d = \sqrt{36 + 64}
\]
- Combine the results:
\[
d = \sqrt{100}
\]

4. **Calculate \( \sqrt{100} \):**
- This equals \( 10 \).

So, the distance between the points \((-1, 6)\) and \((5, -2)\) is **10**.

Sure! Let's carefully re-evaluate the calculation for the distance between the points \((-1, 6)\) and \((5, -2)\) step by step.

1. **Identify the points:**
- Point A: \((-1, 6)\)
- Point B: \((5, -2)\)

2. **Calculate the differences in coordinates:**
- \( \Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6 \)
- \( \Delta y = y_2 - y_1 = -2 - 6 = -8 \)

3. **Calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem:**
\[
d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (-8)^2}
\]
Calculating the squares:
\[
(6)^2 = 36
\]
\[
(-8)^2 = 64
\]
Now combine these results:
\[
d = \sqrt{36 + 64}
\]
\[
d = \sqrt{100}
\]

4. **Final calculation:**
- \( \sqrt{100} = 10 \)

So, the distance between the points \((-1, 6)\) and \((5, -2)\) is indeed **10**. The calculations confirm the result. Thank you for your patience, and if you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Let's find the distance between the points \((5, 5)\) and \((2, -3)\) using the Pythagorean theorem, carefully applying each step.

1. **Identify the points:**
- Point A: \((5, 5)\)
- Point B: \((2, -3)\)

2. **Calculate the differences in coordinates:**
- \( \Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 2 - 5 = -3 \)
- \( \Delta y = y_2 - y_1 = -3 - 5 = -8 \)

3. **Calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem:**
\[
d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-8)^2}
\]
Calculating the squares:
\[
(-3)^2 = 9
\]
\[
(-8)^2 = 64
\]
Now combine these results:
\[
d = \sqrt{9 + 64}
\]
\[
d = \sqrt{73}
\]

4. **Final calculation:**
- Using a calculator, \( \sqrt{73} \approx 8.544 \).

5. **Round to the nearest hundredth:**
- This gives us approximately **8.54**.

So, the distance between the points \((5, 5)\) and \((2, -3)\) is **8.54**.
