Question

Find the distance between the origin and a point (3.-4​

Answer 1

e

Answer:

5 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the point is at the 4th quadrant

In the figure, we can see a right triangle which is formed by connecting (0,0), (3,0), and the given point (3,-4).

AC= the distance between origin and the point (3,-4)

Also, AC is the hypotenuse of the triangle ABC

According to Pythagoras theorem,

$\sqrt{hypotenuse} = \sqrt{ {}oposite \: side^{2} + {adjacent \: side}^{2} }$
