Need help with a math question

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the distance between two points is calculated using the following formula

$d =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}$

In this case we look for the RS distance

Then

The starting point is: (0, a)

The final point is (b, c)

So

$x_2 = b\\x_1 = 0\\y_2 = c\\y_1=a$

The distance is:

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