To find the distance of each point from the origin $$(0, 0)$$, you can use the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem:

$$
\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x)^2 + (y)^2}
$$

**For Point A $$(0, 5)$$:**
$$
\text{Distance}_A = \sqrt{0^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{0 + 25} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \text{ units}
$$

**For Point B $$(0, -3)$$:**
$$
\text{Distance}_B = \sqrt{0^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{0 + 9} = \sqrt{9} = 3 \text{ units}
$$

**Summary:**
- **Point A** is **5 units** from the origin.
- **Point B** is **3 units** from the origin.
Point A is 5 units from the origin, and Point B is 3 units from the origin.

If point A has coordinates (0, 5) and point B has coordinates (0, -3), what are their respective distances from the origin?
