Need help with a math question

Answer 1

`d =√((b-0)^2 +(c-a)^2)`

Explanation:

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

`d =√((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 =√((b-0)^2 +(c-a)^2)`
