Part (1):
The distance
between two points (x₁,y₁),(x₂,y₂) = d
[tex]d = \sqrt{ (x2-x1)^{2} + (y2-y1)^{2} } [/tex]
The coordinates of the two labeled points are:
(2,3) which are in the first quadrant
(-3,-2) which are in the third quadrant
∴ [tex]d = \sqrt{ (-3-2)^{2} + (-2-3)^{2} } [/tex] = 5√2
So, the distance between the two labeled points = 5√2
The correct answer is option B)5√2
=====================================================
Part (2):
Both of ΔABC and ΔDEF are right triangles
We can conclude the following:
1) ∠B = ∠E = 90°
2) AC = DF ⇒⇒⇒ Hypotenuse
3) BC = EF ⇒⇒⇒ Leg
So, the theorem that can be used to prove that the two triangles are congruent is HL
The correct answer is option A) HL
