Question

What is the vertical distance from the origin to the point 6,3

Answer 1

Answer:

Vertical distance from the Origin to Point $P(6,3)$ is equal to $3\ units.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagram of given scenario is shown below.

To find:- What is vertical distance from the origin to point $(6,3)$.

Given that: point $P(6,3)$ and $O(0,0)$.

Now,

from the Diagram it is easy to say that Vertical Distance becomes $PA$ when Point $O$ shifted to point $A$ ( on x-axis y-coordinate is always zero ).

So, Distance between two points calculated such as :

                  Distance = $\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1} )^{2} }$

Then,        $PA=\sqrt{(6-6)^{2}+(3-0)^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2} } \\\\PA= 3\ units$

Therefore,

Vertical distance from the Origin to Point $P(6,3)$ is equal to $3\ units.$
