What is the length side of a triangle that has vertices at (-5, -1), (-5, 5), and (3, -1)?

6,8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length , all we need to find is the distance between each point ,

the formula for calculating distance between two points is given by :

D =

Let the points be :

A ( -5,-1)

B(-5,5)

C(3,-1)

Calculating the length AB , we have

D1 =

D1 =

D1 =

D1= 6

Calculating the length AC , we have

D2 =

D2 =

D2 =

D2 = 8

Calculating the length BC , we have

D3 =

D3 =

D3 =

D3 = 10

Therefore ,the length of the sides of the triangle are 6,8 and 10

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

its an acute right triangle
