The origin is the point (0, 0) on the coordinate plane. To find the distance between the point P(7, 4) and the origin, we can use the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)
where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of the origin, and (x2, y2) is the coordinates of the point P.
Substituting the values, we get:
d = √((7 - 0)2 + (4 - 0)2) = √(49 + 16) = √65 ≈ 8.06
Therefore, the distance of the point P(7, 4) from the origin is approximately 8.06 units.
