What is the distance of (5, 12) from origin?(a) 6 units(b) 8 units(c) 10 units(d) 13 unitsI got this question during an internship interview.I'd like to ask this question from Slope of a Line in chapter Straight Lines of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) 13 UNITS

The EXPLANATION is: We KNOW, distance between two points (x1, Y1) and (x2, y2) is\(\SQRT{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\).

So, distance between (5, 12) from origin (0, 0) is \(\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(12-0)^2} = \sqrt{(5)^2+(12)^2}\) = 13 units.
