Question

If from a point \( B \), the length of the perpendicular drawn to the x-axis is 10 and the length of the perpendicular drawn to the y-axis is 5, then the coordinates of the point \( B \) are:

• A. \( (5,10) \)
• B. \( (10,5) \)
• C. \( (10,10) \)
• D. \( (5,5) \)

Hint:

If a point is at a perpendicular distance \( a \) from the y-axis and \( b \) from the x-axis, its coordinates are \( (a, b) \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- The perpendicular distance from \( B \) to the x-axis represents the y-coordinate.
- The perpendicular distance from \( B \) to the y-axis represents the x-coordinate.
Thus, the coordinates of point \( B \) are:
\[ (5, 10). \]
