Algebra.Com's Answer #94808 by oscargut(2103) You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can find distances\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d(C,A)=sqrt(4^2+1^2)=sqrt(17) \n" ); document.write( "d(C,B)=sqrt(2^2+8^2)=sqrt(68) \n" ); document.write( "d(A,B)=sqrt(6^2+7^2)=sqrt(85)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then d(A,B)^2=d(C,A)^2+d(C,B)^2 ehen using Pythagoras Theorem \n" ); document.write( "triangle ABC is a right angled triangle in C\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(You can also find lines AC and BC and verify they form a right angle) \n" ); document.write( " |
