Answer 1

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

=

169

=

13

=13

Hence, the distance is 13 units.
