Question

What is the distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis?

with solution ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation The distance between point (2,3) & x-axis can be determined by assuming a point (2,0) in x-axis.

Now distance between A & B is P=  

(x  2  −x  1  )  2  +(y  2  −y  1   )  2

 

​  

 

P=  (2−2)  2  +(3−0)  2

 

​  

 

[P=3 unit]

Hence distance between point A & x-axis is 3 unit.

Answer 2

Answer or Solution : 3 units
