Prove that the points (2, –2), (–2, 1) and (5, 2) are the vertices of a right angled triangle. Also find the length of the hypotenuse -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Let the co-ordinates of any point on the x-axis be (x, 0). Then distance between (x, 0) and (– 4, 8) is 10 units.⇒ \(\sqrt{(x+4)^2+(0-8)^2}\) = 10 ⇒ x2 + 8x + 16 + 64 = 100 ⇒ x2 + 8x – 20 = 0 ⇒ (x + 10) (x – 2) = 0 ⇒ x = –10 or 2 ∴ The required points are (– 10, 0) and (2, 0).
