Question

find the perpendicular distance of point p(4,3) from 1.x-axis,2.y axis .3.origin

Answer 1

perpendicular distance from x axis = y coordinate = 3
perpendicular distance from y axis = x coordinate = 4
perpendicular distance from origin =
$\sqrt{4 {}^{2} + 3 { }^{2} }$
=
$\sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25 } = 5$
