A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wall at a point having coordinates (1.2, 1.9), where the units are meters, what is the distance of the fly from the corner of the room?

Answer:

[tex]D=2.25 m[/tex]

Explanation:

We can use the equation of a distance between to points:

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{0})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{0})^{2}}[/tex]

Now, we know that the origin point (x₀,y₀) = (0,0) and the point (x₁,y₁) = (1.2,1.9)

[tex]D=\sqrt{(1.2-0)^{2}+(1.9-0)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]D=2.25 m[/tex]

Therefore the distance of the fly will be D = 2.25 m from the corner.

I hope it helps you!
