Question

Which point is close to the origin and by how much?

Question:

Point ( a or b ) Is closer by ( less than or more than ) 0.1 units

The first select on the question Is A or b and the second was If its more than or less than

Answer 1

B is closer.

Explanation:

If you go down 6, and over 2, it's a total of 8 units to get to the origin. For A, if you go down 5 units, and go right 4 units, it's 9 units to get to the origin. When you do the Pythagorean Theorem for A, you get 41, and square rooting that gives you 6.4. When you do the Pythagorean Theorem for B, you get 40, and square rooting it gets you 6.3. Therefore, B is closer. I don't really get the more than / less than .1 unit but if I had to guess, it'd be less than 0.1 unit because 6.3 is lesser than 6.4 by .1.
