Answer:
Vertical distance from the Origin to Point [tex]P(6,3)[/tex] is equal to [tex]3\ units.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Diagram of given scenario is shown below.
To find:- What is vertical distance from the origin to point [tex](6,3)[/tex].
Given that: point [tex]P(6,3)[/tex] and [tex]O(0,0)[/tex].
Now,
from the Diagram it is easy to say that Vertical Distance becomes [tex]PA[/tex] when Point [tex]O[/tex] shifted to point [tex]A[/tex] ( on x-axis y-coordinate is always zero ).
So, Distance between two points calculated such as :
Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1} )^{2} }[/tex]
Then, [tex]PA=\sqrt{(6-6)^{2}+(3-0)^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2} } \\\\PA= 3\ units[/tex]
Therefore,
Vertical distance from the Origin to Point [tex]P(6,3)[/tex] is equal to [tex]3\ units.[/tex]
