Question

Please help me!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coordinates are (0, a) and (b, 0), we just use the distance formula to find the distance in terms of a and b:

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

$d=\sqrt{(-a)^2+b^2}$ which simplifies to

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

and that's it!
