Answer to Problem 40E
The length of three sides of right triangle are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The graph is shown below.
Calculation:
The vertices of the right triangle are
Use the distance formula for two points
The distance between the points
So, the length of perpendicular of triangle is
The distance between the points
So, the length of hypotenuse of triangle is
The distance between the points
So, the length of base of triangle is
Therefore, the length of three sides of right triangle are
Now let us check the Pythagorean Theorem.
Take the left side of the equation.
Hence, the lengths of the right triangle satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
