Juan Carlos has been asked to find the distance between two points ( -3, 2) and (12, 10)on a coordinate grid. How many units are the legs of the right triangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The legs of right triangle are of 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points are as follows -

Point A ( -3, 2)

Point B (12, 10)

The distance between the two points is as follows -

[tex]\sqrt{(12-(-3))^2 + (10-2)^2} \\\sqrt{225 + 64} \\17[/tex]

The legs of right triangle are of 17 units
