In this case, use the distance formula
√((y2-y1)2+(x2-x1)2)
(all under the radical)
So, this would be
√((6-0)2+(3-0)2)
√((6)2+(3)2)
√(36+9)
√(45)
3√(5)

The question is clear, as given, although technically when we ask for the length of a segment from A to B, the AB should have a horizontal bar over it, signifying "length from A to B" if we omit the word length. (But this platform does not seem to have the overbar feature.
P.S. Many teacherswould want suare root of 45 to be simplified as 5√3.
