Question

the distance of the point p(2, 3) form the x-axis is​

Answer 1

Explanation :

Given that p(2,3) i.e x axis can be taken by assuming a point (2,0) and b point ( 2,3)

now taking both the points a and b by distance formula,

Distance formula:

A=2,0 B= 2,3

$\sqrt{(2 - 2) { }^{2} +( 3 -0) {}^{2} }$

$\sqrt{( {0) }^{2} + ( {3)}^{2} )}$

$\sqrt{( {3)}^{2} }$

square root and square get cancelled,
