Question

The distance between the
origin (0) and point A(-6,-8) is______​

Answer 1

Answer:

√(-6)²+(-8)²

= √36+64

= √100

= 10

Distance is 10 units

Answer 2

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$\color{red}{\huge{\underline{\underline{GIVEN\dag}}}}$

• Point "O" is at origin
• O(0,0).
• Point "A" A(-6,-8)

$\color{red}{\huge{\underline{\underline{SOLUTION\dag}}}}$

We know that,

Distance from origin to a point is;

$\color{orange}{{\boxed{ | OA | = \sqrt{ {(x )}^{2} + {(y)}^{2} } }}}$

$⇒ |OA| = \sqrt{ {( - 6)}^{2} + {( - 8)}^{2} }$

$⇒ |OA| = \sqrt{36 + 84}$

$⇒ |OA| = \sqrt{100}$

$⇒ |OA| = 10 \: units$

HOPE THAT HELPS!!
