Question

Find the distance between the points (a, 0) and (0, b). StartRoot (a minus b) squared EndRoot StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot StartRoot (a + b) squared EndRoot StartRoot a squared minus b squared EndRoot

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (a, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, b)

d = $\sqrt{(0-a)^2+(b-0)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{(-a)^2+b^2}$

    = $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Answer 2
