Question

Im confused on how to use distance formula on this

Answer 1

Answer:

Not sure what you need ----see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Leg 1  of left triangle  = 8 units

Leg 2                          = 6

Hypotenuse               = 10  ( via Pythag theorem....or distance formula)

R triangle  Leg1 = 8 units

                  leg 2 = 6 units

        hypotenuse = 10 units      so the triangles are congruent by SSS

distance from right angle of triangle 1 ( at 0,0)   to

               right angle of triangle 2  ( at 6,-3)  

                     using distance formula

                      from 0,0  to 6, -3

              d^2 = ( 6-0)^2  + (-3 -0)^2

               d^2 = 45

                d = sqrt 45
