The coordinates for the vertices of a right triangle are (1, 4), (6, 4), and (6,1). What is the length of the longer leg? A) 3 B
) 4 C) 5 D) 6
2 answers:
Let
A------> <span>(1, 4)
B------> (6, 4)
C-----> (6,1)
we know that
In </span><span>a right triangle there are two legs and one hypotenuse
</span><span>
step 1
find the distance AB
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(4-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√25----> 5
AB=5 units
step 2
find the distance BC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-6)²]-----> d=√9----> 3
BC=3 units
step 3
find the distance AC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√34----> 5.83
AC=5.83 units
therefore
the two legs are
AB=5 units
BC=3 units
the hypotenuse is
AC=5.83 units
the answer is
<span>the length of the longer leg is AB=5 units
</span>

Answer:
n = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
sin30° = , then
sin30° = =
=
( cross- multiply )
2n = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
n = 6
