Answer:
Let O be the origin and Q be the foot of the perpendicular dropped from P onto the x axis.
So ΔOPQ is right-angled at Q.
By definition of coordinates:
OQ=x coordinate of P= distance of P from y axis =∣x∣
Similarly, QP=∣y∣.
Thus, by using Pythagoras theorem on ΔOPQ, we get OP=OQ2+QP2=x2+y2
Thus the distance of the point P(x,y) from the origin O(0,0) is x2+y2

Step-by-step explanation:
(x,y) (0,0)
x1=x y1= y x2= 0 y2= 0
formula is
√(x1-x2)square + (y1-y2) square
√ (x-0)square + (y-0)square
√ (x) square +(y) square
