Question

maths geometry
Distance of Point (-7, 2) from the origin is ----
​

Answer 1

Applying distance formula
(0+7)^2 + (0-2)^2 under the root
49+4 under the root
53 under root

Answer 2

( -7,2 )

x1 = -7

x2 = 2

Distance between origin and point is

$\sqrt{ {x1}^{2} + {x2}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {( - 7)}^{2} + {2}^{2} } = \sqrt{49 + 4} = \sqrt{53}$

therefore, distance between origin and point ( -7,2 ) is root 53.
