MCQ
The disrtance of point $P(2, 3)$ from the $X-$ axis is :
- A$2$
- ✓$3$
- C$1$
- D$5$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3$
We know that, if $(x, y)$ is any point on the cartesian piane in first quadrant.
Then, $x =$ Perpendicular distance from $Y-$ axis
and $y =$ Perpendicular distance from $X-$ axis
Distance of the point $P(2, 3)$ from the $X-$ axis $=$ Ordinate of a point $P(2, 3) = 3.$
Then, $x =$ Perpendicular distance from $Y-$ axis
and $y =$ Perpendicular distance from $X-$ axis
Distance of the point $P(2, 3)$ from the $X-$ axis $=$ Ordinate of a point $P(2, 3) = 3.$
