Question

Triangle ACB with coordinates A(0,0), C(2,0), and B(2,4) is similar to triangle BED. If vertex D has coordinates (6,12), what are the coordinates of vertex E?

Answer 1

A right triangle is a triangle that has 90 degrees angle in one of its parts. You are given two points that have coordinate:

x1,y1= (-2, 4)

x2,y2= (-1,1)

To make the angle 90 degrees, there is two possible third point coordinate:

1. x1, y2 = (-2,1)

2. x2, y1= (-1,4)

The right triangle would be option C: (-2,1)

Option A and B is not a right triangle

Explanation:

Answer 2

the coordinates of vertex E is (6,0)

C(2,0),compare this to(2,4)

same x.but y=0

(6,0)comparing to (6,12)

we get it
