Answer 2

use distance formula

Answer 3

I don't know what that is!!! That is why I am on here!!!

Answer 4

i showed on the last problem

Answer 5

do you get it or still confused?

Answer 6

Still confused, sorry, all these number just get jumble up in my head.

Answer 7

no problem. when you connect the vertices for the points, you will see that it a triangle.

Answer 8

OK.....

Answer 9

do you know the Pythagorean theorem?

Answer 10

Roughly, I am really bad at that.

Answer 11

it is:

Answer 12

a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle)

Answer 13

ok so
A x A + B x B = C x C
?

Answer 14

yes. but on c^2, you want to find the square root to find the actual value of c (since c is squared)

Answer 15

How do you sqaure C, wait what is C?

Answer 16

hypotenuse

Answer 17

my suggestion is to analyze the picture that I gave you. this is my work in visual.

Answer 18

So C is a right Triangle?

Answer 19

the whole triangle is the right triangle, C is the longest side of the triangle (hypotenuse)

Answer 20

So the answer is C?
