Answer
View full question & answer→AOBC is a rectangle whose three vertices are A(0, - 3), O(0, 0) and B(4, 0). The length of its diagonal is 5 units.
Solution:
$\text{A}(0,3)=(\text{x}_1,\text{y}_1)$
$\text{B}(4,0)=(\text{x}_2,\text{y}_2)$
Now,
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{(\text{x}_2-\text{x}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0+3)^2}$
$=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+9}$
$=\sqrt{25}$
$=\sqrt{5}\text{unit.}$
