Question:
The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle has its ends at the points (1, 3) and b(- 4, 1). Find the equation of the legs (perpendicular sides) of the triangle
Answer:
Given hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle has its ends at the points (1, 3) and b(- 4, 1).
Now equation of a line parallel to x-axis is y = constant
So y = 1
Again equation of a line parallel to y-axis is x = constant
So x = 1
So the equation of the legs (perpendicular sides) of the triangle are x =1 and y = 1.
