Answer:

(-1,1),(4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point (x,y)

Distance between points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]

Put (x,y)=(-1,1)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34

which is true. So, (-1,1) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-2)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34

which is true. So, (4,-2) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(1,1)

34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (1,1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(2,-2)

34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (2,-2) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-1)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30

which is not true. So, (4,-1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(-1,4)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70

which is not true. So, (-1,4) cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are (-1,1),(4,-2)

What is the sum 2, 3, 4, and 5?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the sum of these numbers by adding them together.

The cumulative rule of addition lets us add numbers together in any order we want.

So, for 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 …

2 + 3 = 5

So now we have 5 + 4 + 5

5 + 4 = 9

Now we have 9 + 5

And 9 + 5 = 14

So, your answer is 14

Hope this helps!

The three angle measures in a triangle are congruent. The angles are equiangular! What is the measurement of one of the angles?
gregori [183]

Answer:

60 degrees per angle.

Step-by-step explanation: a triangle has a total of 180 degrees, and the number of sides determine the number of angles it has. in this case, it's an equilateral triangle. 180/3 = 60. all triangles have 3 sides if you didn't know that ;)
