Question

Find the perpendicular distance of the point A(5, 12) from y-axis by using distance formula ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

point on y axis will be (0,y)

And y2 will be equal to y1 (as perpendicular distance needed)

By distance formula,

√(5-0)^2+(12-12)^2

=√5^2

=5 units
