उत्तर
Distance of point (−3, 4) from the origin is 5.
Explanation:
Using the formula,
Distance = `sqrt(x^2 + y^2)`
= `sqrt((-3)^2 + 4^2)`
= `sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt25 = 5`

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = –7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
