To apply the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by connecting the points (2, 5) and (7, 3).

The length of the horizontal side of the triangle is the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points:
7 - 2 = 5.

The length of the vertical side of the triangle is the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points:
3 - 5 = -2.

To find the length of the hypotenuse, we square the length of the horizontal side and the length of the vertical side, and then take the square root of their sums:

hypotenuse length = sqrt((5^2) + (-2)^2)
hypotenuse length = sqrt(25 + 4)
hypotenuse length = sqrt(29)

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the length between (2, 5) and (7, 3) is approximately 5.38.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

5.38
