Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a 45-45-90 right triangle with a Pythagorean triple of (x, x, x√2). Because this is a 45-45-90, both legs have the same measure, namely 8. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean triple, x = 8 (NOT the x in your diagram...the x in the Pythagorean triple). That means that the hypotenuse has a measure of , which is d.

Answer:
(a) (-2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.
A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:
a (-2, 4)
