Question

The distance of the point (-5, -5) from the origin is ___.

• A. 5√2 units
• B. √50 units
• C.
  2√5 units
• D. √20 units

Answer 1

The correct option is A

5√2 units

The Distance from Origin (0,0) can be calculated using Distance formula.

$\to$ $\sqrt{(0-(-5){)}^2+0-(-5){)}^2}$

= $\sqrt{5^2+5^2}$

= $\sqrt{50}$

= $5\sqrt{2}$ units
