AB is vertical because both points are on the line $\"x=1\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "AC is horizontal because both points are on the line $\"y=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The lengths of the segments are
\n" ); document.write( " $\"AB=10-2=8\"$ and $\"AC=16-1=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "ABC is a right triangle with leg lengths 8 and 15.
\n" ); document.write( "Its area is $\"8%2A15%2F2=60\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
