Question

lets try: right triangle pqr has an area of 25 units. determine which ordered pair could be the coordinates of point r. select all that apply. (6, -1) (-5, -4) (-2, 5) (0, 1) (6, -5) (3, 2)

Explanation:

First, we need to identify the coordinates of points \( P \) and \( Q \) from the graph. From the graph, point \( P \) is at \( (-5, 1) \) and point \( Q \) is at \( (4, -5) \).

The area of a right triangle is given by \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height} \). We know \( A = 25 \), so \( \frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height}=25 \), which implies \( \text{base}\times\text{height}=50 \).

We will calculate the horizontal and vertical distances between each candidate point \( R \) and the line segment \( PQ \) (or between \( P \) and \( Q \) and \( R \)) to check if the product of base and height is \( 50 \).

Step 1: Find coordinates of \( P(-5,1) \) and \( Q(4,-5) \)

We first determine the coordinates of \( P \) and \( Q \) from the grid. \( P \) is at \( x=-5,y = 1 \) and \( Q \) is at \( x = 4,y=-5 \).

Step 2: Calculate the distance formula and check for right triangle conditions

For a right triangle, the legs (base and height) should be perpendicular (slopes are negative reciprocals or one is vertical/horizontal and the other is horizontal/vertical).

First, let's find the slope of \( PQ \): \( m_{PQ}=\frac{-5 - 1}{4-(-5)}=\frac{-6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3} \)

For point \( R(6,-1) \)

- Distance between \( P(-5,1) \) and \( R(6,-1) \): \( d_{PR}=\sqrt{(6 + 5)^2+(-1 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{121 + 4}=\sqrt{125} \)
- Distance between \( Q(4,-5) \) and \( R(6,-1) \): \( d_{QR}=\sqrt{(6 - 4)^2+(-1+5)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 16}=\sqrt{20} \)
- Distance between \( P \) and \( Q \): \( d_{PQ}=\sqrt{(4 + 5)^2+(-5 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{81+36}=\sqrt{117} \)
Check if \( d_{PR}^2=d_{PQ}^2 + d_{QR}^2 \) or \( d_{QR}^2=d_{PQ}^2 + d_{PR}^2 \) or \( d_{PQ}^2=d_{PR}^2 + d_{QR}^2 \)
\( d_{PR}^2 = 125 \), \( d_{QR}^2=20 \), \( d_{PQ}^2 = 117 \)
\( 125=117 + 20 \) (since \( 117+20 = 137 eq125 \)), \( 20 eq117 + 125 \), \( 117 eq125+20 \). So not a right triangle? Wait, maybe we made a mistake. Let's check the horizontal and vertical differences.

Alternatively, let's consider the base and height as horizontal and vertical distances. Let's find the horizontal distance between \( P \) and \( Q \): \( \Delta x=4-(-5)=9 \), vertical distance \( \Delta y=-5 - 1=-6 \)

For a right triangle with area 25, \( \frac{1}{2}\times b\times h = 25\Rightarrow b\times h = 50 \)

Let's check each point:

Point \( R(6,-1) \)

- Horizontal distance from \( P \) to \( R \): \( 6-(-5)=11 \)
- Vertical distance from \( P \) to \( R \): \( -1 - 1=-2 \) (absolute value 2)
- If we consider \( PQ \) as a line, and \( R \) such that one leg is horizontal and one is vertical. Wait, maybe better to find the vectors.

Wait, maybe we should find the coordinates of \( P(-5,1) \) and \( Q(4,-5) \). Let's calculate the length of \( PQ \): \( \sqrt{(4 + 5)^2+(-5 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{81 + 36}=\sqrt{117}\approx10.8167 \)

The area of a right triangle is \( \frac{1}{2}ab = 25\Rightarrow ab = 50 \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are the legs.

Let's check each candidate:

Candidate 1: \( (6,-1) \)

- Vector \( \overrightarrow{PR}=(6 - (-5),-1 - 1)=(11,-2) \)
- Vector \( \overrightarrow{QR}=(6 - 4,-1 - (-5))=(2,4) \)
- Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{PR} \) and \( \overrightarrow{QR} \): \( 11\times2+(-2)\times4 = 22 - 8 = 14 eq0 \)
- Vector \( \overrightarrow{PQ}=(4 - (-5),-5 - 1)=(9,-6) \)
- Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{PR} \) and \( \overrightarrow{PQ} \): \( 11\times9+(-2)\times(-6)=99 + 12 = 111 eq0 \)
- Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{QR} \) and \( \overrightarrow{PQ} \): \( 2\times9+4\times(-6)=18 - 24=-6 eq0 \). Not a right triangle? Maybe we made a mistake.

Wait, maybe the right angle is at \( P \) or \( Q \). Let's check the vertical and horizontal lines.

Point \( P(-5,1) \): horizontal line \( y = 1 \), vertical line \( x=-5 \)

Point \( Q(4,-5) \): horizontal line \( y=-5 \), vertical line \( x = 4 \)

For point \( R(6,-1) \)

- Check if \( PR \) is vertical/horizontal and \( QR \) is horizontal/vertical. \( PR \): from \( (-5,1) \) to \( (6,-1) \): not horizontal (y changes) or vertical (x changes). \( QR \): from \( (4,-5) \) to \( (6,-1) \): not horizontal or vertical.

Candidate 2: \( (-5,-4) \)

- \( R(-5,-4) \): \( x=-5 \) (same as \( P \)'s x-coordinate), so \( PR \) is vertical. Length of \( PR \): \( |1 - (-4)|=5 \)
- Now, we need the horizontal distance from \( Q(4,-5) \) to the vertical line \( x=-5 \): \( |4 - (-5)|=9 \). Wait, no, if the right angle is at \( P \), then the legs are \( PR \) (vertical) and \( PQ \) (horizontal)? No, \( PQ \) is not horizontal. Wait, \( PR \) is vertical (x=-5), so the other leg should be horizontal (y=-4) from \( R \) to \( Q \)? \( Q \) has y=-5, so horizontal distance from \( R(-5,-4) \) to \( Q(4,-5) \): no, \( R \) has y=-4, \( Q \) has y=-5, so vertical distance is 1, horizontal distance is 9. Wait, area would be \( \frac{1}{2}\times5\times10 \)? Wait, \( PR \) length: from \( (-5,1) \) to \( (-5,-4) \) is \( 1 - (-4)=5 \) units (vertical). Then, the horizontal distance from \( R(-5,-4) \) to \( Q(4,-5) \): no, if the right angle is at \( R \), then the legs are \( PR \) and \( QR \). Let's calculate \( PR \): \( \sqrt{(-5 + 5)^2+(-4 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{0 + 25}=5 \)

\( QR \): \( \sqrt{(4 + 5)^2+(-5 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{81 + 1}= \sqrt{82}\approx9.055 \)

Area: \( \frac{1}{2}\times5\times\sqrt{82}\approx\frac{1}{2}\times5\times9.055\approx22.6 eq25 \). Not good.

Candidate 3: \( (-2,5) \)

- \( R(-2,5) \): Let's check the vertical and horizontal distances. \( P(-5,1) \) to \( R(-2,5) \): \( \Delta x=3 \), \( \Delta y = 4 \)
- \( Q(4,-5) \) to \( R(-2,5) \): \( \Delta x=-6 \), \( \Delta y = 10 \)
- Check if it's a right triangle. Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{PR}=(3,4) \) and \( \overrightarrow{QR}=(-6,10) \): \( 3\times(-6)+4\times10=-18 + 40 = 22 eq0 \)
- Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{PR} \) and \( \overrightarrow{PQ}=(9,-6) \): \( 3\times9+4\times(-6)=27 - 24 = 3 eq0 \)
- Dot product of \( \overrightarrow{QR} \) and \( \overrightarrow{PQ} \): \( -6\times9+10\times(-6)=-54 - 60=-114 eq0 \). Not a right triangle.

Candidate 4: \( (0,1) \)

- \( R(0,1) \): \( y = 1 \) (same as \( P \)'s y-coordinate), so \( PR \) is horizontal. Length of \( PR \): \( |0 - (-5)|=5 \)
- Now, the vertical distance from \( Q(4,-5) \) to the horizontal line \( y = 1 \): \( |1 - (-5)|=6 \). Area: \( \frac{1}{2}\times5\times6 = 15 eq25 \). Not good.

Candidate 5: \( (6,-5) \)

- \( R(6,-5) \): \( y=-5 \) (same as \( Q \)'s y-coordinate), so \( QR \) is horizontal. Length of \( QR \): \( |6 - 4|=2 \). No, wait, \( Q(4,-5) \) to \( R(6,-5) \) is horizontal, length 2. Then vertical distance from \( P(-5,1) \) to \( y=-5 \): \( |1 - (-5)|=6 \). Area: \( \frac{1}{2}\times2\times6 = 6 eq25 \). Wait, no, maybe the right angle is at \( R \). Let's calculate \( PR \) and \( QR \).

\( PR \): \( \sqrt{(6 + 5)^2+(-5 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{121 + 36}=\sqrt{157}\approx12.53 \)

\( QR \): \( \sqrt{(6 - 4)^2+(-5 + 5)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 0}=2 \)

\( PQ \): \( \sqrt{9^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{117}\approx10.8167 \)

Check \( PR^2=157 \), \( QR^2 = 4 \), \( PQ^2=117 \). \( 157 eq4 + 117 \), \( 4 eq157+117 \), \( 117 eq157 + 4 \). Not a right triangle. Wait, maybe we made a mistake in coordinates.

Wait, maybe the graph has \( P \) at \( (-5,1) \) and \( Q \) at \( (4,-5) \). Let's recalculate the area formula. The area of a triangle with coordinates \( (x_1,y_1) \), \( (x_2,y_2) \), \( (x_3,y_3) \) is \( \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)| \)

Let's apply this formula for each candidate:

For \( R(6,-1) \)

\( x_1=-5,y_1=1 \); \( x_2=4,y_2=-5 \); \( x_3=6,y_3=-1 \)

Area \( =\frac{1}{2}|-5(-5 + 1)+4(-1 - 1)+6(1 + 5)| \)

\( =\frac{1}{2}|-5(-4)+4(-2)+6(6)| \)

\( =\frac{1}{2}|20 - 8 + 36|=\frac{1}{2}|48| = 24\approx25 \) (close, maybe rounding)

For \( R(-5,-4) \)

\( x_1=-5,y_1=1 \); \( x_2=4,y_2=-5 \); \( x_3=-5,y_3=-4 \)

Area \( =\frac{1}{2}|-5(-5 + 4)+4(-4 - 1)+(-5)(1 + 5)| \)

\( =\frac{1}{2}|-5(-1)+4(-5)+(-5)(6)| \)

\( =\frac{1}{2}|35 + 4 + 18|=\frac{1}{2}|57| = 28.5 eq25 \)

Wait, maybe we misread the coordinates of \( P \) and \( Q \). Let's re - examine the graph. The x - axis has labels from - 7 to 7, y - axis from - 7 to 7. Point \( P \) is at \( (-5,1) \) (since it's 5 units left of the origin on x, 1 up on y). Point \( Q \) is at \( (4,-5) \) (4 units right on x, 5 down on y).

Wait, maybe the right triangle has legs parallel to the axes. So, if we consider the base and height as horizontal and vertical distances between \( P \) and \( R \) and \( Q \) and \( R \) such that one is horizontal and one is vertical.

Let's assume the right angle is at \( R \), so \( PR \) is horizontal and \( QR \) is vertical (or

Answer:

First, we need to identify the coordinates of points \( P \) and \( Q \) from the graph. From the graph, point \( P \) is at \( (-5, 1) \) and point \( Q \) is at \( (4, -5) \).

The area of a right triangle is given by \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height} \). We know \( A = 25 \), so \( \frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height}=25 \), which implies \( \text{base}\times\text{height}=50 \).

We will calculate the horizontal and vertical distances between each candidate point \( R \) and the line segment \( PQ \) (or between \( P \) and \( Q \) and \( R \)) to check if the product of base and height is \( 50 \).

Step 1: Find coordinates of \( P(-5,1) \) and \( Q(4,-5) \)

We first determine the coordinates of \( P \) and \( Q \) from the grid. \( P \) is at \( x=-5,y = 1 \) and \( Q \) is at \( x = 4,y=-5 \).

Step 2: Calculate the distance formula and check for right triangle conditions

For a right triangle, the legs (base and height) should be perpendicular (slopes are negative reciprocals or one is vertical/horizontal and the other is horizontal/vertical).

First, let's find the slope of \( PQ \): \( m_{PQ}=\frac{-5 - 1}{4-(-5)}=\frac{-6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3} \)

For point \( R(6,-1) \)

• Distance between \( P(-5,1) \) and \( R(6,-1) \): \( d_{PR}=\sqrt{(6 + 5)^2+(-1 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{121 + 4}=\sqrt{125} \)
• Distance between \( Q(4,-5) \) and \( R(6,-1) \): \( d_{QR}=\sqrt{(6 - 4)^2+(-1+5)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 16}=\sqrt{20} \)
• Distance between \( P \) and \( Q \): \( d_{PQ}=\sqrt{(4 + 5)^2+(-5 - 1)^2}=\sqrt{81+36}=\sqrt{117} \)

Check if \( d_{PR}^2=d_{PQ}^2 + d_{QR}^2 \) or \( d_{QR}^2=d_{PQ}^2 + d_{PR}^2 \) or \( d_{PQ}^2=d_{PR}^2 + d_{QR}^2 \)
\( d_{PR}^2 = 125 \), \( d_{QR}^2=20 \), \( d_{PQ}^2 = 117 \)
\( 125=117 + 20 \) (since \( 117+20 = 137
eq125 \)), \( 20
eq117 + 125 \), \( 117
eq125+20 \). So not a right triangle? Wait, maybe we made a mistake. Let's check the horizontal and vertical differences.

Alternatively, let's consider the base and height as horizontal and vertical distances. Let's find the horizontal distance between \( P \) and \( Q \): \( \Delta x=4-(-5)=9 \), vertical distance \( \Delta y=-5 - 1=-6 \)

For a right triangle with area 25, \( \frac{1}{2}\times b\times h = 25\Rightarrow b\times h = 50 \)

Let's check each point:

\( =\frac{1}{2}|-5(-7)+4(1)+3(6)| \)

\( =\frac{1}{2}|35 + 4 + 18|=\frac{1}{2}|57| = 28.5

Wait, maybe we misread the coordinates of \( P \) and \( Q \). Let's re - examine the graph. The x - axis has labels from - 7 to 7, y - axis from - 7 to 7. Point \( P \) is at \( (-5,1) \) (since it's 5 units left of the origin on x, 1 up on y). Point \( Q \) is at \( (4,-5) \) (4 units right on x, 5 down on y).

Wait, maybe the right triangle has legs parallel to the axes. So, if we consider the base and height as horizontal and vertical distances between \( P \) and \( R \) and \( Q \) and \( R \) such that one is horizontal and one is vertical.

Let's assume the right angle is at \( R \), so \( PR \) is horizontal and \( QR \) is vertical (or
