Question

Distance of point (-5, 12) from the origin is
a) 7
b) 17
c) 13
d) O​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

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 (5,12) and therefore,

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2=(5−0)2+(12−0)2=52+122=25+144=169=132=13 

Hence, the distance is 13 units
