The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which states:

d = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Using the points (2, 5) and (7, 3):
d = √((7-2)^2 + (3-5)^2)
d = √(5^2 + (-2)^2)
d = √(25 + 4)
d = √29

Therefore, the distance between the points (2, 5) and (7, 3) is approximately 5.39.

So, the answer is 5.39.
