Question

The distance between the point (-6,8)and the origin is​

Answer 1

Hello !!

You can use the formula of the distance between two points, she is a variation of the pythagorean teorem.

dAB = √[(xB - xA)^2 + (yB - yA)^2]

Now , you have knowlegde of the formula. You put the informations of the statement in the formula.

dAB = √[(xB - xA)^2 + (yB - yA)^2]

dAB = √[(-6 - 0)^2 + (8 - 0)^2]

dAB = √[(-6)^2 + (8)^2]

dAB = √[36 + 64]

dAB = √100

dAB = 10 uc.

Final result : 10 uc.

I hope I have collaborated !
