Question

perpendicular distance of point A ( 5,8) from x-axis is?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Explanation:

we know that, coordinates of any point represent the perpendicular distance from the axes.

In a plane, x-coordinate(abscissa) represents perpendicular distance from y-axis and y-coordinate(ordinate) represents perpendicular distance from x-axis.

Given point is (5,8) and its x-coordinate(abscissa) is 5.

Therefore, perpendicular distance of point P(5,8) from y-axis is 5 units.

Answer 2

In a plane, x-coordinate(abscissa) represents perpendicular distance from y-axis and y-coordinate(ordinate) represents perpendicular distance from x-axis.

Given point is (5,8) and its x-coordinate(abscissa) is 5.

Therefore, the perpendicular distance of point P(5,8) from the y-axis is 5 units
