Solution
We have the following points:
A = (-3,-4), B= (-2,-2), C= (0, -3)
What is the distance between point A,(-3,-4) and point B (-2,-2)?
[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(-2+3)^2+(-2+4)^2}=\sqrt[]{5}[/tex]What is the distance between point A,( -3, -4) and point C (0, -3)?
[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(0+3)^2+(-3+4)^2}=\sqrt[]{10}[/tex]What is the distance between point C,(0, -3) and point B (-2,-2)?
[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(-2-0)^2+(-2+3)^2}=\sqrt[]{5}[/tex]Do the squares of the the two short sides add to the square of the longer side?
Yes
Distance from A to B squared is
5
Distance from A to C squared is
10
Distance from C to B squared is
5
Do the three points form a right triangle?
Yes
Since:
