Question

Using the distance formula enter the values in the empty boxes

Answer 1

Given:

The points are,

`\begin{gathered} R(0,a) \\ S(b,c) \end{gathered}`

To find:

The length of RS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula,

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Substituting the values we get,

`\begin{gathered} d=√((b-0)^2+(c-a)^2) \\ d=√(b^2+(c-a)^2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value belongs to the green box is b.

Final answer:

The value belongs to the green box is,

`b`

The value belongs to the gray box is

`c-a`
