Question

Find the distance of  the following points from the origin:

(iii) C (-4,-6)

Advertisements

Solution

C (-4,-6)

Let O(0,0)be the origin

`OC= sqrt((-4-0)^2 +(-6-0)^2)`

`=sqrt((-4)^2 + (-6)^2)`

`= sqrt(16+36)`

`=sqrt(52)`

`=sqrt(4 xx13)`

`=2 sqrt(13)` units

Find distance between point Q(3, – 7) and point R(3, 3)

Solution: Suppose Q(x1, y1) and point R(x2, y2)

x1 = 3, y1 = – 7 and x2 = 3, y2 = 3

Using distance formula,

d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square)`

∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square - 100)`

∴ d(Q, R) =  `sqrt(square)`

∴ d(Q, R) = `square`
