उत्तर

Let C(x1, y1) and D(x2, y2) be the given points

∴ x1 = – 3a, y1 = a, x2 = a, y2 = – 2a

By distance formula,

d(C, D) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`

= `sqrt(["a" - (-3"a")]^2 + (-2"a" - "a")^2`

= `sqrt(("a" + 3"a")^2 + (-2"a" - "a")^2`

= `sqrt((4"a")^2 + (-3"a")^2`

= `sqrt(16"a"^2 + 9"a"^2)`

= `sqrt(25"a"^2)`

∴ d(C, D) = 5a units
