Question

find. the. distance of. a. point. (x, y) from. the origin

Answer 1

so this is the right answer...hope so:)

Answer 2

Answer:  The answer is $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the distance of the point (x, y) from the origin.

We know that the co-ordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

And, the distance between any two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by the following distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}.$

Therefore, the distance between the point (x, y) and the origin will be

$D=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.$

Thus, the answer is $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.$
