Question

What is the distance between p(-3 4) and the origin

Answer 1

Distance formula:

$\sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } sq. units$

$distance \: of \: op = \sqrt{ {( - 3 - 0)}^{2} + {(4 - 0)}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{9 + 16 } \\ = \sqrt{25} \\ = 5 \: sq \: units$
