Question

Triangle ABC is a 45*-45*-90* triangle where two vertices are A(-2,2) and B(-2,6) and AB is a leg of the triangle. What are all the possible ordered pairs for C?

Answer 1

Find the midpoint of AB, which will be the coordinates of point C.
Midpoint formula: [(x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2]
For A(-2,2) and B(-2,6), the midpoint coordinates are:
C = [(-2 + -2) / 2, (2 + 6) / 2] = [-2, 4]
So, the only possible ordered pair for point C in this 45°-45°-90° triangle is (-2, 4).
