The distance of point (5, 0) from the origin is

A10 units
B5 units
C0 units
D25 units
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 5 units
1. Use d = sqrt(x^2 + y^2). 2. = sqrt(5^2 + 0^2) = sqrt(25). 3. = 5 units. 4. So the distance is 5 units. _Source: Selina Concise Mathematics Class 9, Ch 26 Co-ordinate Geometry (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on distance from origin_
