Step 1 :Let \(x = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\). Then \(x^2 = a^2 + b^2\), so \(d = \frac{|ax_0 + by_0 + c|}{x}\)
Step 2 :We can rewrite the equation as \(|ax_0 + by_0 + c| = dx\)
Step 3 :Square both sides to get rid of the absolute value: \((ax_0 + by_0 + c)^2 = d^2x^2\)
Step 4 :Expand the equation: \(a^2x_0^2 + 2ax_0by_0 + b^2y_0^2 + 2cx_0a + 2cy_0b + c^2 = d^2(a^2 + b^2)\)
Step 5 :Substitute \(x^2\) back into the equation: \(a^2x_0^2 + 2ax_0by_0 + b^2y_0^2 + 2cx_0a + 2cy_0b + c^2 = d^2x^2\)
Step 6 :Divide both sides by \(x^2\): \(\frac{a^2x_0^2 + 2ax_0by_0 + b^2y_0^2 + 2cx_0a + 2cy_0b + c^2}{x^2} = d^2\)
Step 7 :Simplify the equation: \(\frac{a^2x_0^2}{x^2} + \frac{2ax_0by_0}{x^2} + \frac{b^2y_0^2}{x^2} + \frac{2cx_0a}{x^2} + \frac{2cy_0b}{x^2} + \frac{c^2}{x^2} = d^2\)
Step 8 :Cancel out the common terms: \(a^2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{x^2}\right) + 2ab\left(\frac{x_0y_0}{x^2}\right) + b^2\left(\frac{y_0^2}{x^2}\right) + 2ca\left(\frac{x_0}{x^2}\right) + 2cb\left(\frac{y_0}{x^2}\right) + c^2\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right) = d^2\)
Step 9 :Simplify further: \(a^2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ab\left(\frac{x_0y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + b^2\left(\frac{y_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ca\left(\frac{x_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2cb\left(\frac{y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + c^2\left(\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2}\right) = d^2\)
Step 10 :Now, we can see that the equation is in the form of \(d^2\), so we can take the square root of both sides to get the final answer: \(d = \sqrt{a^2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ab\left(\frac{x_0y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + b^2\left(\frac{y_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ca\left(\frac{x_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2cb\left(\frac{y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + c^2\left(\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2}\right)}\)
Step 11 :\(\boxed{d = \sqrt{a^2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ab\left(\frac{x_0y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + b^2\left(\frac{y_0^2}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2ca\left(\frac{x_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + 2cb\left(\frac{y_0}{a^2 + b^2}\right) + c^2\left(\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2}\right)}}\)
