Answer 2

$\bigstar$ Question:

• Find the distance of the point (-3, -4) from the origin.

$\bigstar$Given:

• The point is ( -3 , -4 ).

$\bigstar$To find:

• The distance of ( -3 , -4 ) from the origin.

$\bigstar$ Solution:

• First of all, we have to plot the co-ordinates on the Cartesian plane. The plotting is given in the attachment. Let the name of the point be 'P'.

Here, the point P has (-3) as the abscissa and (-4) as ordinate. We have to find the distance of P from the origin, and hence,

Distance = OP

The triangle is right angled triangle, and OP is the hypotenuse. Now using Pythagoras theorem,

OP = √{(3)² + (4)²}

( Distance cannot be negative)

$\implies$ OP = √(9 + 16)

$\implies$ OP = √25

$\implies$ OP = 5 units.

$\therefore$the distance of ( -3 , -4 ) from origin is 5 units.
