@myininaya or @experimentX  do you know this?

experimentx · Answer

find the coodinates of E -> that is (3,-5)
find the coordinate of O -> that is (0,0)

now using distance formula between two points, the distance is 
$ \sqrt{(3-0)^2 + (-5-0)^2}  = \sqrt{9 + 25} = \sqrt{34} \approx  \sqrt{36} = 6 $

You should check out distance point formula!!
