5 is ur answer sister.... plzz mark me as brainlist and I will follow u

Answer 2

Answer:

The perpendicular distance is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point A(5,11).

we have to find the perpendicular distance from y-axis.

For perpendicular distance on y-axis the x-coordinate must be equals to 0 and y-coordinate is 11 i.e

The coordinate on y-axis is (0,11)

By distance formula, the perpendicular distance can be calculated as

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(11-11)^2}=\sqrt{25}=5units$

The perpendicular distance is 5 units.
