Question

Find the measures of the sides of triangle DEF, then classify it by its sides. YOU MUST SHOW WORK TO GET CREDIT!

D(-2, 3), E(5, 5), F(-4, 10)

Answer 1

FE = 10.30

ED = 7.62

FD = 7.28

Explanation:

First, use coordinate system to draw a square that each angle of triangle reach the sides of the square, then use Pythagoras theory to find the length of the sides(c^2=a^2+b^2)

FE = root(9^2+5^2) = root(106) = 10.30

ED = root(3^2+7^2) = root(58) = 7.62

FD = root(2^2+7^2) = root(53) = 7.28
