The coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are (–8, 8), (–8, –4), and . Consider QR the base of the triangle. The measure of the base is b = 18 units, and the measure of the height is h = units. The area of triangle PQR is square units.

Respuesta :

Answer:(10,-4)

12 units

108 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate of R is (10,-4), the height of the triangle is 12 units, and the area of the triangle is 108 square units and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

  • The coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are (–8, 8), (–8, –4).
  • Consider QR the base of the triangle.
  • The measure of the base is b = 18 units.

Given that the coordinates of vertices P(-8,8) and Q(-8,4). If the triangle is a right angle triangle then the coordinates of R is given by:

R(-8 + 18, -4 + 0) = R(10,-4)

So, the coordinate of the third vertice is (10,-4).

The height of the triangle PQR is given by:

h = 4 + 8

h = 12 units

Now, the area of the triangle PQR is:

[tex]\rm Area = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 18 \times 12[/tex]

        [tex]= 9\times 12[/tex]

        = 108 square units.
