Question

Which expression represents the distance between point (0, a) and point (a, 0) on a coordinate grid?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{2} a$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a coordinate plane is given by expression $\sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}$

In the problem given coordinate points are

(0, a) and (a, 0).

Thus, distance between these points are given by

$distance = \sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{(0-a)^2+(a-0)^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{(a)^2+(a)^2}\\\\=>distance = \sqrt{2a^2}\\=>distance = \sqrt{2} a$

Thus , expression $\sqrt{2} a$ gives the distance between point (0, a) and point (a, 0) on a coordinate grid.
