Answer 1

Let point Q = (4,y)

√[ (4-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 ] = √[ (6-0)^2 + (0-0)^2 ]

Square both side

(4-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = (6-0)^2 + (0-0)^2

4^2 + y^2 = 6^2

16 + y^2 = 36

y^2 = 36-16

y^2 = 20

y= √20

y= 2√5

Answer 2

2√5

Explanation:

On the graphic, you see point Q is roughly between 4 and 4.5 units on the Y-axis.

So, all we have to do is find a value similar to that in the answer choices. So, let's look at the values:

2√5: 2 * 2.23 = 4.46... that's pretty much what we're looking for.

4√2: 4 * 1.41 = 6.4. Way too big.

2√13: 2 * 3.6 = 7.2, way too big.

8√2: We know that will necessary be way bigger than 4.5, so let's not even evaluate it.
