Question

5. What will be the perpendicular distance of the point P(6,10) from the x-axis?​

Answer 1

Answer :-

10 units

Solution :-

In this question, we have to find the perpendicular distance of a given point P(6, 10) from the x axis.

Coordinates of point P are (6,10) this implies that point P has a distance of 6 units from origin on x axis and 10 units from origin on y axis.

Perpendicular distance of a point from the x axis is given by y coordinate.

So the perpendicular distance of the point P(6,10) from x axis is 10 units.
