Question

On the grid below draw a right triangle

with vertices at P(2, 4), Q(7, 9), and
R(10,6). what is the lengths of the three sides to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer: See attached image for graph

PQ: √50

QR: √18

PR: √68

Step-by-step explanation: We will use the 2D distance formula in order to get each side length. The distance formula is:

• distance = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

Thus, we just apply this formula for each side length.
