Question

The point P(21,35) is on the terminal side of an angle in standard position. What is the distance from P to the origin?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance from P to origin is approximately 40.82 units.                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the data:

The point P(21,35)

We have to find the distance of point P from the origin.

Coordinates of origin: (0,0)

Distance formula:

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

Putting the values, we get,

$(21,35), (0,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-21)^2 + (0-35)^2} = \sqrt{1666} = 7\sqrt{34} \approx 40.82\text{ units}$

The distance from P to origin is approximately 40.82 units.
