MCQ
What is the distance of (5, 12) from origin?
  • A
    6 units.
  • B
    8 units.
  • C
    10 units.
  • D
    13 units.

Answer

  1. 13 units.

Solution:

We know, distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is $\sqrt{({\text{x}}_{1}-{\text{x}}_{2})^{2}+({\text{y}}_{1}-{\text{y}}_{2})^{2}}$

So, distance between (5, 12) from origin (0, 0) is $\sqrt{({5-0})^{2}+({12-0})^{2}} = \sqrt{({5})^{2}+({12})^{2}} =13\text{ unit}.$
