Question

the distance from the origin to the point (-12,16) is ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between origin(0,0) and (x, y) = √x² + y²

Here, (x, y) = (-12,-16)

d = √(-12-0)² + (16-0)² = √144+256 = √400

d = 20units.

Answer 2

The distance from the origin to the point (-12,16) is 20 units

Given:

Point  (-12, 16)

To find:

The distance from the origin to the point (-12,16)  

Solution:

Let the given point is A (-12, 16) and

As we know the origin is O(0,0)

The formula for the distance between a point P(x, y) from the origin O(0,0) is given by  

                               OP = √(x²+y²)  

Then distance between A (-12, 16) and O(0,0)

OA =  √(-12)²+16²  

= √(144 + 256)

= √400

= √20²

= 20  

Therefore, distance OA = 20 units

The distance from the origin to the point (-12,16) is 20 units
