To find the length of the base of the right triangle, we need to determine the distance between the points (2,5) and (6,10) on the coordinate plane.
Using the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = √((6-2)^2 + (10-5)^2)
d = √((4)^2 + (5)^2)
d = √(16 + 25)
d = √41
Therefore, the length of the base of the right triangle is approximately 6.40 units.
A right triangle was graphed on a coordinate plane using the coordinates (2,5) , (2,1) and (6,10). What is the length of the base of the triangle? Use the blank coordinate grid to help you answer the question.
