Answer:

d(P1, P2) = 5.831

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula:

d = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)

where d is the distance between the two points, dx is the difference in x-coordinate between the points and dy is the difference in y-coordinate between the points.

So, if the first point is P1 = (0,0) and the second point is P2 = (3,5), the distance d(P1, P2) is:

d(P1, P2) = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2) = sqrt( (3-0)^2 + (5-0)^2 ) = sqrt(3^2 + 5^2)

= sqrt(9 + 25) = sqrt(34) = 5.831
