Question

Two vertices of a right triangle are (0,1) and (0,6). The area of the triangle is 10 square units. Which point could be the third vertex of the triangle?

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "(4,1)."

The distance from (0,1) to (0,6) is 5 units.
The area of a triangle is
Area = bh/2
10 = 5b/2
20 = 5b
b = 4

The distance of the base is 4 units. So, from (0,1) count 4 units to the right but on the same y coordinate.

So the point is in (4, 1).
