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
