Question

8. Find the distance petween the 2 poin origin and the point (15, -8) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

This ans is wrong

We know that the distance between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is 

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2 

Since, the origin has the coordinates (0,0), thus

The given points are (0,0) and (−8,15) and therefore,

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2=(−8−0)2+(15−0)2=(−8)2+152=64+225=289=172=17 

Hence, the distance is 17 units.
