Question

Find the distance between the points (a, 0) and (0, b).

Answer 1

its the second option

Explanation:

i took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

d = sqrt( a^2 + b^2)

Explanation:

Formula

d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

Givens

x1 = a

x2 = 0

y1 = 0

y2 = b

Solution

d = sqrt( (0 - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2 )

d = sqrt( a^2 + b^2)

which is another way of writing the Pythagorean theorem.
