The distance of the point P(x, y, z) from the origin is:

Answer: √(x² + y² + z²).

  • A √(x² + y² + z²)
  • B x² + y² + z²
  • C √(x + y + z)
  • D x + y + z

Correct answer: A. √(x² + y² + z²)

Explanation: Applying the distance formula with the origin (0,0,0) gives OP = √(x² + y² + z²).

zxyOP(x, y, z)first octant:x>0, y>0, z>0

Concept context

Coordinate axes and planes in space, octants, distance between two points, and the section formula
