The side AB measures option 2. 
units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The coordinates of the given triangle ABC are A (4, 5), B (2, 1), and C (4, 1).
The sides of the triangle are AB, BC, and CA. We need to determine the length of AB.
To calculate the distance between two points, we use the formula 
where (
) are the coordinates of the first point and (
) are the coordinates of the second point.
Step 2:
For A (4, 5) and B (2, 1), () = (4, 5) and () = (2, 1). Substituting these values in the distance formula, we get
So the side AB measures units long which is the second option.
(6,3) (1,4)

Answer:
It is a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Information needed:
Formula: a^2+b^2= c^2
a: leg
b: leg
c: hypotenuse
the longest side is always the hypotenuse, so 17 in
the order of legs don't matter so 8 in and 15 in
Solve:
a^2+b^2= c^2
8^2+15^2= 17^2
64+225= 289
289= 289
Final answer:
It is a right triangle
