Question

Find the distance between the origin and the point (-10, 24).​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance = 26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

• origin = (0,0)
• point = (-10,24)

distance between two points =

$\sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

• x1 = 0
• x2 = -10
• y1 = 0
• y2 = 24

$= \sqrt{ {( - 10 - 0)}^{2} + {(24 - 0)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {( - 10)}^{2} + {(24)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{100 + 576} \\ = \sqrt{676} \\ = 26 \: units$
