Answer:
c = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
A (-6, 5), B (-2, 4), C (-2, 5)
Form a triangle by adding a new point to the graph.
*in this case it is coordinate C
- First step: Find the distance between points A and C
From A to C there are 4 units.
- Second step: Find the distance between points B and C
From B to C there are 9 units
Next you need to use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of A to B
[tex]\sqrt{a} +\sqrt{b} =\sqrt{c}[/tex]
Now use the lengths you have to find the missing length.
[tex]\sqrt{4} +\sqrt{9} =\sqrt{c}[/tex]
[tex]2 + 3 = \sqrt{c} \\\\5 = \sqrt{c} \\\\(5)^{2} = (\sqrt{c} )^{2} \\\\25 = c[/tex]
