Find the lengths of the sides of a triangle with vertices: (0,0) (5,0) (5,12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 5,12,12 b. 5,5,12 c. 5,12,5 d. 5,12,13

You can count units on the vertical and horizontal lengths. That leaves one side to find. See attachment.

What is the distance from (5,12) to (0,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

Directrix (directrix):

Well, you can learn the distance formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's D

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, I agree.

Generally 3-times use pythagorean theorem (from which is derived distance formula) to calculate side length. In this case, some sides lie on verictal or horizontal line, so length of oen side is |12-0| =12 and second |5-0|=5... third side must be "computed". See this triangle: http://www.triangle-calculator.com/?what=vc&a=0&a1=0&3dd=3D&a2=&b=5&b1=0&b2=&c=5&c1=12&c2=&submit=Solve&3d=0
