from origin is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance of the point P(−6,8) from the origin is 62+82 =36+64 =100 =10 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

10units

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 is the x coordinate which lies 6 units right to origin and 8 is the y coordinate which lies 8 units up to origin.

So if we notice out the figure carefully, we observe that it forms a right triangle and 6 units form the base distance and 8 units forms the perpendicular distance.

So in a right triangle,through Pythogoras theroem,we write-

perpendicular distance of the point from the origin = 6^2+8^2

or, distance^2=6^2+8^2

or,distance=$\sqrt{6^{2} +8^{2}$

or distance=$\sqrt{36+64}$

or distance=$\sqrt{100}$

so the distance=10 units
