Question

what is the distance from (6 -8) to the origin

Answer 1

use the distance formula

Answer 2

use pythogorean theorem.

Or better yet the distance formula. origin = 0,0

Answer 3

Distance to any point to another is given by
\[D(AB)=\sqrt{(B_x - A_x)^2+(B_y - A_y)^2}\]
A=(0,0)
B=(6,-8)
Paff.

Answer 4

Is there a difference between the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem?

Answer 5

ya

Answer 6

i got it thanks

Answer 7

Not really, it's actually the same idea.

Answer 8

welcome

Answer 9

pythogorean theorem is used to derive distance formula
