Question
Find the distance between the origin and the point:
(-8, 6)
Advertisements
Solution
Coordinates of origin are O (0, 0).
A (-8, 6)
AO = `sqrt((0 + 8)^2 + (0 - 6)^2)`
= `sqrt(64 + 36)`
= `sqrt(100)`
= 10

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km.
