Question

What is the answer for this one?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can approach this problem through the formula for distance between points, but I can think of a more easier approach. This line forms a triangle with the x and y axis, a right triangle with the legs being 2 and 1 units. The line with which we must find the distance of acts as the hypotenuse of this triangle, so let us apply Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the line;

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2,\\( 1 )^2 + ( 2 )^2 = c^2,\\\\1 + 4 = c^2,\\c^2 = 5,\\\\c = ( About ) 2.2$

Solution; Option B
