Graph a right triangle with two points forming the hypotenuse using the sides find the distance between two points to the nearest 10th if necessary 54 and 35 A class=

Respuesta :

A right-angled triangle has one of its angle to be [tex]90^o[/tex].

  • See attachment for the right-angled triangle
  • The distance between the two points is 9.2 units

The points are given as:

[tex]A = (3,5)[/tex]

[tex]B =(5,-4)[/tex]

To have a right-angled triangle, then the third point must be at a right angle.

This means that:

  • The x-coordinate of the third point will be the x-coordinate of A
  • The y-coordinate will be the y-coordinate of B

From the given parameters, we have:

[tex]A_x = 3[/tex]

[tex]B_y = -4[/tex]

So, the coordinate of the third point is:

[tex]C =(A_x,B_y)[/tex]

[tex]C = (3,-4)[/tex]

See attachment for the right-angled triangle.

The distance between the two points is then calculated using the following distance formula

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+ (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(3-5)^2+ (5--4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{85}[/tex]

[tex]d = 9.2[/tex]

Hence, the distance between the two points is 9.2 units
