Question

Find the distance between the origin and (8,15)

Answer 1

The distance between the origin and (8,15) is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance between the origin and (8,15)

We know that x and y coordinates at origin are (0,0)

The formula used to find distance is:

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$x_1=0, y_1=0, x_2=8,y_2=15$

Putting values and finding distance:

$Distance=\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(15-0)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{(8)^2+(15)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{64+225}$

$Distance=\sqrt{289}$

$Distance=17$

So, The distance between the origin and (8,15) is 17
