Question

The perpendicular distances of the point p (6,5) from the x axis is

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since the 1st point for a point to be marked in a 2d graph (X and Y axes), is the point at x-axis, 6 and 5 are on x and y axes, respectively.

b. So the line from the 6th unit position on x-axis to the point (6,5), will be perpendicular to the y-axis, and thus the distance of the perpendicular line from the x-axis to the point (6,5), will be 5 units.
