Its a right angle triangle with 2 sides being 2 each. Using pythagoras, hypotenuse PQ would be 2.82

OPQ is isosceles right angled triangle so PQ =2√2=2*1.4=2.8

E

$$hypotenuse=2*\sqrt{2}=2.82$$ (Approx.)

Hi..
Point P is on circumference and center is origin..
So the radius is the distance of P from origin..
P is given as (-√3,1) that is x is -√3 and y is 1 so it's a right angled triangle at 0 with sides -√3 and 1 and radius is the hypotenuse
$$r^2=(-√3)^2+1^2=3+1=4.....r=2$$
