Question
![**Mathematics Problem: Finding the Length of a Vector**
Given a point \( R = (6, 5) \), we aim to calculate the length of the vector \( \overrightarrow{OR} \).
The notation \( \overrightarrow{OR} \) represents the vector from the origin \( O \) (which is at the coordinates (0,0)) to the point \( R \).
To find the length (or magnitude) of the vector \( \overrightarrow{OR} \), we use the formula:
\[
\| \overrightarrow{OR} \| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}
\]
where \( x \) and \( y \) are the coordinates of the point \( R \).
In this case, the coordinates of \( R \) are \( x = 6 \) and \( y = 5 \).
Therefore, substituting these values into the formula:
\[
\| \overrightarrow{OR} \| = \sqrt{6^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61}
\]
So, the length of the vector \( \overrightarrow{OR} \) is \( \sqrt{61} \).
\[
\| \overrightarrow{OR} \| = \boxed{\sqrt{61}}
