A right triangle has coordinates A(6, 0), B(0, 0), and C(0, 8). What is the perimeter of the triangle?
have you tried drawing out the points?
the perimeter is the sum of the 3 lengths. this is a right triangle, use pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. the drawing will let you "see" better
And here's the graphic
@xbb hope you know that for point B the (0,0) mean the origo point with zero units and for A the (6,0) mean 6 units because the y axe is 0 same for point C the (0,8) mean 8 units because the axe x is zero - so you know that there is a right triangle with sides 8 and 6 units - using Pythagoras you can calculi easy the length of 3rd side so after you get it just assume the lengths of 3 sides and will get the perimeter of this right triangle - hope so much that this will help you solve this your exercise easy using these above wrote knowledge
