Question

The distance bitween (0,0) and point of intersection of x=3 with y=4 will be

Answer 1

Question:

What is the distance between (0,0) and (3,4)?

Step-by-step solution:

1. Get Graph Paper.

2. Draw a graph.

3. Plot a point at (0,0)

4. Plot a point at (3,4)

5. Connect the two dots with a line.

6. Draw a triangle with the new line.

7. Transfer the new triangle down the page by a few units to prevent confusion.

8. Find/Count the length of the shorter legs of the triangle.

9. Use the Pythagorean Theron to find the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse).

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

3^2 = (3)(3) = 9

4^2 = (4)(4) = 16

9 + 16 = 25

√25 = 5

Answer: The length of the distance between (0,0) and (3,4) is √25 with is also equivalent to 5.

Hope this helped! Have a Firefly day!
