Question

Find the distance that (5, 1) is from the origin. Round to three decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer: Distance = 2.449

Explanation:

Given that the distance that (5, 1) is from the origin. That is (0,0) to (5,1)

where

X1 = 0

X2 = 5

Y1 = 0

Y2 = 1

The distance from the origin to the point (5, 1) can be calculated by using the formulae

Substitute all the parameters into the formular

D =
`√((X2-X1) + (Y2-Y1))`

D =
`√((5-0) + (1-0))`

D =
`√(5 + 1)`

D =
`√(6)`

D = 2.44948

D = 2.449 ( Three decimal places)
