Question

Find the distance of a point p(x,y) from it origin

Answer 1

The ans is root x2+ y2

Answer 2

By distance formula,

Distance between two points is √((∆x)²+(∆y)²)


Points here are, P(x,y) and O(0,0)

∆x = x-0 = x

∆y=y-0=y

Distance = √(x²+y²) In terms of x and y


Plug in the values for x and y, and you'll get the actual distance of the actual point from the origin!
