Find the perpendicular distance of the point p(4,2) from x-axis

1.	Find the perpendicular distance of the point p(4,2) from x-axis
Answer» According to conditionThe perpendicular point on y axis will be (0,2)Distance between (4,2) and (0,2) = √ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2= √ (4 -0)2 + (2 - 2)2= √ 42 + 0= 4 units
