Answer:

A. 5.39 units.

Explanation:

We have been given coordinates of two points A = (0, 0) and B = (2, 5). We are asked to find the length of AB.

We will use distance formula to solve for our given problem.


\text{Distance}=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Substituting our given values in above formula we will get,


\text{Distance between A and B}=√((2-0)^2+(5-0)^2)


\text{Distance between A and B}=√((2)^2+(5)^2)


\text{Distance between A and B}=√(4+25)


\text{Distance between A and B}=√(29)


\text{Distance between A and B}=5.3851648071345\approx 5.39

Therefore, the length of AB is approximately 5.39 units and option A is the correct choice.
