Question

p is the point (4,5) pq is drawn perpendicular to x-axis meeting at q then:
(i) what us length of pq
(ii) what are coordinates of q
(iii) how far is q from the origin ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i) pq = 5

ii) q(4 , 0)

iii) oq = distance from q to the origin = 4.

Answer 2

Concept:

Perpendicular is the vertical line that makes a ninety-degree angle on the horizontal line.

Given:

We have,

p is the point (4,5),

pq is perpendicular to the x-axis meeting at q.

Find:

We are asked to find;

(i) what is the length of pq?

(ii) what are the coordinates of q?

(iii) how far is q from the origin?

Solution:

So,

p is the point (4,5),

i.e.

x = 4 and  y = 5

And,

It is given that pq is perpendicular,

The,

q lies on the x-axis.

So, Length of pq = 5

Now,

So, the coordinates of q are (4,0).

Now,

q is 4 units far from the origin.

Hence, the length of pq is 5, the coordinates of q are (4,0), and q is 4 units far from the origin.
