Question

What is the vertical distance from the origin to the point (2,9)

Answer 1

Answer: The answer should be 9.2195

Step-by-step explanation:They tell us the point is 2.9 and they are asking the distance from the origin which is zero. So we can use pythagorean theorem. A²+B²=C² Look at it as a triangle. They have given us A and B, so you can find C² using those information. If you plot the point in the line you know that A=2 and B=9. Using the formula will be 2²+9²=C² ⇒ 4+81=C² ⇒ 85=C². To get rid of the power of 2 in c we have to square both side to cancel it out. C would equal 9.2195
