Question

Use the coordinate plane to help you identify the length of each leg then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of CD

Answer 1

Answer:

CE= 9cm, DE= 5cm, CD= 10.2956cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the point of the other triangle.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

CD= square root symbol (CE^2 + DE^2)

= square root symbol (9^2+5^2)

= 10.2956cm (6 sf)
