ANSWER
We know that the distance between the two points (x
1
,y
1
) and (x
2
,y
2
) is
d=
(x
2
−x
1
)
2
+(y
2
−y
1
)
2
Since, the origin has the coordinates (0,0), thus
The given points are (0,0) and (5,12) and therefore,
d=
(x
2
−x
1
)
2
+(y
2
−y
1
)
2
=
(5−0)
2
+(12−0)

=

=
25+144
=

=

=13
Hence, the distance is 13 units.
