Question

Find the distance of the Point p(2,3)from x axis.

Answer 1

"The distance between the origin and the coordinates (2, 3) is

Square root of (2 – 0)^2 + (3 – 0)^2

Square root of 2^2 + 3^2

Square root of 4 + 9

Square root of 25

Hence 5 will be the total distance between the coordinates and origin.

In case of x-axis we will only consider the value of y coordinate that is 3.
