So hmm check the picture below

the height or altitude is CD
and the base is AB

how long are those? well $\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\\\\
C&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
D&({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(5-0)^2}\qquad \qquad CD=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(2-0)^2}$

Which set of points represents triangle FGH

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of point on a graph is given by (x, y).

Where x = distance of the point from origin on x-axis.

y = distance of the point on y-axis.

Therefore, coordinates of points given on graph will be,

F (2, 5)

G (6, 9)

H (7, 2)

Option (2) will be the correct option.
