Question

If point P(✓2,0), then what is the distance of the point from the Y -axis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

is given that, Ramu said “ the distance of a point P(x₁, y₁) from the origin O (0, 0) is \sqrt{x_1^2+y_1^2}

x

1

2

+y

1

2

.

let me check it is correct or not...

we know, distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as,

=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}=

(x

1

−x

2

)

2

+(y

1

−y

2

)

2

so distance of a point P((x₁, y₁) from origin O is OP

= \sqrt{(x_1-0)^2+(y_1-0)^2}

(x

1

−0)

2

+(y

1

−0)

2

= \sqrt{x_1^2+y_1^2}

x

1

2

+y
