Asked by Robert
On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points (negative 5, 1), (2, 1), (2, negative 1).
Use the drop downs to answer the following questions about the distance between the points (−5, 1) and (2, −1).
What is the distance of the horizontal leg?
What is the distance of the vertical leg?
Use the Pythagorean theorem. What is the distance between the two points?

Horizontal leg: 7 (from x = −5 to x = 2)
Vertical leg: 2 (from y = 1 to y = −1)
Distance: sqrt(7^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(53) ≈ 7.2801
Vertical leg: 2 (from y = 1 to y = −1)
Distance: sqrt(7^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(53) ≈ 7.2801
