Question

the perpendicular distance from x axis and y axis are 3 units and 4 units respectively find the distance of this point from the origin

Answer 1

By Pythagoras theorem .....
distance from origin
=√(3^2+4^2)
=√{9+16}
=√25
=5

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point whose perpendicular distance from x axis and y axis are 3 units and 4 units respectively from any point. we have to find out the distance of this point from origin.

If one point having the perpendicular distance from x axis and y axis are 3 units and 4 units then the coordinates of this point is (4,3). Now, we have to find out the distance of point (4,3) from origin i.e (0,0)

By distance formula,

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

                     = $\sqrt{(3-0)^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 units$

Hence, the distance of the point whose perpendicular distance from x axis and y axis are 3 units and 4 units respectively from the origin is 5 units
