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)

Look at the figure below: an image of a right triangle is shown with an angle labeled y degrees If sin y° = s divided by 8 and t
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Cos y = t / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the hints given in the question, the omitted tribagke will look like the triangle attached on the picture ;

From trigonometry :

Sin y = opposite / hypotenus

Sin y = s / 8

Opposite side = s ; hypotenus = 8

Tan y = opposite / Adjacent

Tan y = s / t

Adjacent side = t

Then ;

Cos y = Adjacent / hypotenus

Hence,

Cos y = t / 8
