Triangles and Coordinate Proof
Placing a rectangle in the coordinate plane
Place a 2-unit by 6-unit rectangle in the coordinate plane.
Solution Choose a placement that makes finding distances easy.
Two possible placements:
Using the Distance Formula
• A right triangle has legs of 5 units and 12 units. Place the triangle in a coordinate plane. Label the coordinates of the vertices and find the length of the hypotenuse.
Using the Midpoint Formula
