Question
The distance of the point P (4, 3) from the origin is
Options
4
3
5
7
Solution
The point P(4,3) is shown in the graph given below:
In ΔOAPis right angled triangle where
OA = 4
and AP =3
By using Pythagoras theorem:
`OP = sqrt(OA^2 + AP^2)`
` = sqrt(4^2 +3^2)`
`=sqrt(16 +9)`
`=sqrt25`
`=5`
Thus the distance of the point P(4,3) from the origin is 5.
