Question

distance of point (4,9) from x-axis​

Answer 1

distance of point (4,9) from X-axis is

4 units

Answer 2

The distance of point (4, 9) from x-axis​ = 9 units  

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance between the coordinate (4, 9) and the x- axis.

A straight line to the point = (4, 0)

To find, the distance between the points (4, 9) and (4, 0) =

We know that,

The distance formula( between two points)

$=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(4-4)^{2}+(0-9)^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-9)^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(-9)^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{81}$

= 9 units  

∴ The distance of point (4, 9) from x-axis​ = 9 units  

Thus, the distance of point (4, 9) from x-axis​ is 9 units.
