Given:

The vertices of ΔWXY are W(-10, 4), X(-3, -1), and Y(-5, 11).

To find:

Which type of triangle is ΔWXY by its sides.

Solution:

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula, we get

WX=\sqrt{(-3-(-10))^2+(-1-4)^2}

WX=\sqrt{(-3+10)^2+(-5)^2}

WX=\sqrt{(7)^2+(-5)^2}

WX=\sqrt49+25}

WX=\sqrt{74}

Similarly,

XY=\sqrt{\left(-5-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(11-\left(-1\right)\right)^2}=2\sqrt{37}

WY=\sqrt{\left(-5-\left(-10\right)\right)^2+\left(11-4\right)^2}=\sqrt{74}

Now,

WX=WY

So, triangle is an isosceles triangles.

and,

WX^2+WY^2=(\sqrt{74})^2+(\sqrt{74})^2

WX^2+WY^2=74+74

WX^2+WY^2=148

WX^2+WY^2=(2\sqrt{37})^2

WX^2+WY^2=WY^2

So, triangle is right angled triangle.

Therefore, the ΔWXY is an isosceles right angle triangle.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

a rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q of two integers, q cannot be 0

so for A

\sqrt{4/5} Cannot be expressed as 2 integers as a quotient

so A is wrong

For B .125 is 1/8 so yes -2 is a integer so yes 2/5 are 2 integers so yes

and \sqrt{16/9} Is 4/3 so yes

Answer:

The answer is A. Angles are proportional, side lengths are larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

That’s because scale factors greater than one make a shape larger, and the angles are proportional it's the lengths of the size that change.
