Question

Two vertices of a right triangle have coordinates (5, 12) and (11, 12). The segment that connects these points is a leg of the triangle.

Which coordinate pair for the third vertex would create a right triangle?

(8, 12) ​

​ (19, 12) ​

​ (8, 20) ​

​ (11, 4) ​

Answer 1

11,5 is your answer hope its right

Answer 2

(11,4) because the coordinates (5,12) and (11,12) connect to make a straight line. To find the other coordinate of a right triangle, you need to find a perpendicular coordinate (since two lines that are 90 degrees are always perpendicular). So if you sketch this on a graph, you should draw all coordinates and see which one makes the line perpendicular.
