विकल्प

• 12

• 5

• 13

• 169

Answer 1

The distance of the point (–12, 5) from the origin is 13.

Explanation:

Since, the distance between the origin and the point (x, y) is `sqrt(x^2 + y^2)`.

Therefore, the distance between the origin and point (–12, 5)

= `sqrt((-12)^2 + (5)^2)`

= `sqrt(144 + 25)`

= `sqrt(169)`

= 13 units
