Exercise 34 Page 256

Start by plotting the given pair of points. Then plot a third point such that you will have a right triangle.

(10,0), (0,10), (5,-5), (-5,5), (5,0), (0,5)

Practice makes perfect

For any pair of points, there are six points that could be the third vertex of an isosceles right triangle. Let's begin by plotting the given points on a coordinate plane.

Next, we will plot the various points that would create a right triangle when connected to these points. When choosing the third vertex, we need to make sure that one of the angles is 90^(∘) and that two of the sides are the same length.
Now that we found all six points, let's summarize our findings. ccc (10,0) & (0,10) & (5,-5) (-5,5) & (5,0) & (0,5)
