What is the distance between ( — 12, 35) and the origin?

Answer 1

37 units

Explanation:

To calculate the distance use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 12, 35)

d =
`√((-12-0)^2+(35-0)^2)`

=
`√((-12)^2+35^2)`

=
`√(144+1225)` =
`√(1369)` = 37
