What is the approximate distance from the origin to the point (−10, −4, 5)? Round to the nearest tenth. 4.4 units 10.4 units 11.9 units 19.0 units

Answer 1

The answer is 11.9 units

First you must set up the distance formula.

`\sqrt[]{ (-10-0)^2+(-4-0)^2+(5-0)^2}`

Then, simplify like terms.

`√((-10)^2+(-4)^2+(5)^2)`

Next, simplify exponents.

`√(100+16+25)`

Then, add like terms.

`√(141)`

Finally, round to the nearest tenth.

11.9
