Answer:

(4,3), (−4,8), (−4,3)

(2.5,−4), (0,0), (0,−4)

Explanation:

On plotting on graph all form right angled triangle.

Dimension of all triangles and tanФ

  1. Base=2 Height=5 tanФ 2.5
  2. Base=5 Height=3 tanФ 1.6
  3. Base=8 Height=5 tanФ 1.6
  4. Base =2.5 Height=4 tanФ 1.6

[Here base and height can be interchanged if needed]

Ratio of perpendicular and base of last two triangle is equal.

First two are not congruent to any of other triangle but 3rd and 4th triangle are congruent .

Their coordinates are:

(4,3), (−4,8), (−4,3)

(2.5,−4), (0,0), (0,−4)
