Question

Right triangle ABC is on a coordinate plane. Segment AB is on the line y=2 and is 6 units long. Point C is on the line x=-3. What is the y value of point C is the area of ABC is 9 units squared

Answer 1

The y-coordinate of point C may have a value of 5 or -1.

What is a right-angle triangle?

If any of its inner angles is 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be right-angled. Another term for this triangle is the right triangle or 90-degree triangle.

The given data in the problem is;

A coordinate plane contains the right triangle ABC.

AB = 6 units

Surface area, A= 9 square units

The AB symbol is located on the x-axis parallel line y=2.AB will thus be perpendicular to the x-axis.

As a result, AB will be parallel to the side that contains point C. (BC or AC). As a result, the triangle's area should be justified by the length of the side or leg containing point C, which is the point's y-coordinate.

The other triangle leg's length should be,

BC = AC = 9/3

BC = AC = 3

Therefore, the point C's y-coordinate can be,

2±3 = 5,-1

Hence, the y-coordinate of point C may have a value of 5 or -1.
