Question

5. The distance between the points (0,0) and (- 6,8) is
(B) 10​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = under root (x2 - x)^2+ (y2-y1)^2

A=(0,0)

B=(-6,8)

Under root (-6-0)^2+(8-0)^2

under root (6)^2+(8)^2

under root 36+64

underroot 100

= 10 sq.units

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points (0, 0) and (-6, 8).

To find:

the distance between the two = ?

Solution:

The formula to find the distance between two points is as follows:

Distance AB = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y² - y₁)²

Where, we have to put

x¹ = 0

x₂ = -6

y₁ = 0

y₂ = 8

Now, substituting the value in distance formulae, we get

AB = √[{(0 - (-6)}² + (0 - 8)²]

AB = √[(6)² + (8)²]

AB = √(36 + 64)

AB = √(100)

AB = 10 unit

Hence, the distance between the two points AB = 10 unit.
