To find the distance between the points \((2, 5)\) and \((7, 3)\) using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, we can use the formula:

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

Where \((x_1, y_1)\) is \((2, 5)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \((7, 3)\).

Now substitute the values into the formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (3 - 5)^2}
\]
\[
= \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-2)^2}
\]
\[
= \sqrt{25 + 4}
\]
\[
= \sqrt{29}
\]

Calculating the square root of 29 gives us:

\[
d \approx 5.385
\]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the distance is approximately:

\[
d \approx 5.39
\]

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