उत्तर
Given AB = 5 units
Therefore, (AB)2 = 25 units
`⇒(5-a)^2 +{3-(-1)}^2 = 25`
`⇒(5-a)^2+(3+1)^2 = 25`
`⇒(5-a)^2 + (4)^2 =25`
`⇒(5-a)^2 +16 =25`
`⇒(5-a)^2 =25-16`
`⇒(5-a)^2 = 9`
`⇒(5-a)=+-sqrt(9)`
`⇒ 5-a=+-3`
`⇒5-a =3 or 5-a=-3`
`⇒ a=2 or 8`
Therefore, a = 2 or 8.

The distance between points P(–1, 1) and Q(5, –7) is ______
Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = – 7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
