What is the Distance of the Point (3, 4) from the Origin

Q. What is the Distance of the Point(3,4) from origin?

The distance of the point B (x, y) from the origin O (0, 0) is given by OB= (x-0)² +(y-0)²

P = +y²

Therefore,

The distance between two points (3,4) 

(x-0)²+(y-0)² =(3-0)²+(4-0)²= 5.

 The distance of the point (3,4) from the origin is 5.
