Answer:
A) Right Angle Triangle
B) 25 units²
C) (15 + 5√5) units
Figure Their Length:
[tex]\sf Distance \ between \ two \ points = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]
Distance between C and A
[tex]\rightarrow \sf CA = \sqrt{(1 - (-1))^2 + (4 - (-7))^2} \ = \ 5\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Distance between C and T
[tex]\rightarrow \sf CT = \sqrt{(-1-5)^2+(-7-1)^2} \ = \ 10[/tex]
Distance between A and T
[tex]\rightarrow \sf AT = \sqrt{(1-5)^2 +(4-1)^2} \ = \ 5[/tex]
Part A:
When drawn on graph, we can identify it is a right angle triangle.
Or use Pythagoras Theorem:
10² + 5² = (5√5)²
125 = 125... Hence it is a right angle triangle confirmed.
Part B:
Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 10 × 5 = 25 units²
Part C:
Total Sum or measure of all sides: 5 + 10 + 5√5 = 15 + 5√5 units
