What is the distance of the point (3, 4) from the origin?
Given
- Point = (3, 4)
- Origin = (0, 0)
- Formula for distance from origin = √(x² + y²)
Step 1: Write the Distance Formula
Distance of a point (x, y) from the origin (0, 0) is given by:
Distance = √(x² + y²)
Step 2: Substitute the Values
Now substitute these values into the formula:
Distance = √(3² + 4²)
= √(9 + 16)
= √25
= 5
Final Answer
The distance of the point (3, 4) from the origin is 5 units.
