Answer:
given ,
a point , let's say , A( 1 , 4 ) on the cartesion plane.
to find - the horizontal distance of the point from the origin.
[tex]\underline\bold{using \: Distance \: formula \:} \\ \\ d(AO) = \sqrt{( x_{2} - x_{1}) {}^{2} +( y_{2} - y_{1}) {}^{2} } \\ \\ d(AO) = \sqrt{(1 - 0) {}^{2} + (4 - 0) {}^{2} } \\ \\ d(AO) = \sqrt{1 + 4} \\ \\ d(AO) = \sqrt{5} units [/tex]
hope helpful :D
