Question

2. A coordinate grid is used to make a map of the park. The location of the drinking fountain is (-4, 2) ; the location of the bench is (0, 2) ; and the location of the center of the slide is (0, 5).

(a) What is the distance from the drinking fountain to the bench? What is the distance from the bench to the center of the slide? Explain your reasoning.
(b) What type of triangle is created by the three locations? Explain.

Answer 1

4 units, 3 units

(b) Right-angled triangle

Explanation:

Answer 2

(A) The distance from the drinking fountain to the bench is 4, and the distance from the bench to the center of the slide is 3 because if you add -4 and 0 you will get 4 and if you subtract 5 and 2 you will get 3.

(B) The type of triangle that is created is an obtuse triangle because when you connect the 3 locations it creates an obtuse triangle on the coordinate grid.
