To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can use the distance formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

However, you haven’t provided the coordinates of the two points between which you need to find the distance. If you can provide those coordinates, I can perform the calculation for you and determine the correct length rounded to the nearest hundredth.

b: 5, 5
a: 2, -3

Given the points \( A(2, -3) \) and \( B(5, 5) \), we can apply the distance formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

Here, \( (x_1, y_1) = (2, -3) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (5, 5) \).

Now, substituting the values:

\[ d = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2} \]

Calculating the differences:

\[ d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (8)^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{9 + 64} \] \[ d = \sqrt{73} \]

Calculating the square root:

\[ d \approx 8.54 \]

Therefore, the length between the two points is approximately 8.54 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
