The distance between point A(5, 3) and B(14, 17) can be found using the distance formula:

d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Substituting the values of the points into the formula:

d = √((14 - 5)^2 + (17 - 3)^2)

d = √((9)^2 + (14)^2)

d = √(81 + 196)

d = √277

d ≈ 16.6

Therefore, the distance is about 16.6 units.
