To determine the distance between two points, we use the equation,
distance = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Substituting the known values for the abscissa and ordinates of the points,
distance = √(0 - 2)² + (0 - 5)² = √29 ≈ 5.39
Therefore, the distance between these two points is approximately equal to 5.39.
