Answer:

C(3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(4, 0) and B(3, 7)

When Drawn These Two coordinates

Identify the coordinates which make the triangle 90° (right angle triangle)

Stated that the Point C is on the x-axis, the value of y will be 0

Coordinates of C: (3, 0)

The points A(4, 0) and B(3, 7) are two vertices of right triangle ABC. The hypotenuse-example-1
