To find the distance between the points \((2, 5)\) and \((7, 3)\) using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can use the distance formula:
\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
Where \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case:
- \((x_1, y_1) = (2, 5)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (7, 3)\)
Now substitute the values into the formula:
\[ d = \sqrt{(7 - 2)^2 + (3 - 5)^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-2)^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{25 + 4} \] \[ d = \sqrt{29} \]
Now calculate \(\sqrt{29}\):
\[ \sqrt{29} \approx 5.385 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the distance is approximately \(5.39\).
Thus, the answer is:
5.39
