(10 points) Distance/Similarity Measures Given the four boxes shown in the following figure, answer the following ques ons. In the diagram, numbers indicate the lengths and widths and you can consider each box to be a vector of two real numbers, length and width. For example, the top le box would be (2,1), while the bo om right box would be (3,3). Restrict your choices of similarity/distance measure to Euclidean distance and correlation. Please explain your choice( You need to write your choice of measure and to show the calculation for each question). 1) (5 Points) Which proximity measure would you use to group the boxes based on their shapes (length-width ratio)? 2) (5 Points) Which proximity measure would you use to group the boxes based on their size?
