☯ Let the given points be A(3, a) and B(4, 1).
⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀
» Using Distance formula,
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Therefore,
⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Given :-
➪ Points ( 3 , a ) and ( 4, 1 )
Let them be :
A( 3, a ) and B( 4 , 1 )
➪ Distance between these points = √10
To Find :-
➪ Value of 'a'
Solution :-
➪ As we know that
Distance Formula = √( x₂ - x₁ )² + ( y₂ - y₁ )²
➪ Let's find out the value of a !
∴ The value of 'a' = -2 or 4
