Answer:
Not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this case a and b are 16 and 18
In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.
16^2 + 18^2 = c^2
= 580^2
= = 24.0832
Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
Answer:
Area = 21/2 = 10.5 area units
Step-by-step explanation:
Two of the points are on the same line (the y-axis) as they both have x-coordinates of 0. This can thus be the base of your triangle.
Two more are on the same line (y= -9) as they both have the same y-coordinate of -9. This can be the height of your triangle.
So you have a base which is between -2 and -9 (7 units) and a height which is between 0 and 3 (3 units) so now just use the equation for area of a triangle
