Two vertices of a right triangle have coordinates (5, 12) and (11, 12). The segment that connects these points is a leg of the triangle.


Which coordinate pair for the third vertex would create a right triangle?


(8, 12) ​


​ (19, 12) ​


​ (8, 20) ​


​ (11, 4) ​

(11,4) because the coordinates (5,12) and (11,12) connect to make a straight line. To find the other coordinate of a right triangle, you need to find a perpendicular coordinate (since two lines that are 90 degrees are always perpendicular). So if you sketch this on a graph, you should draw all coordinates and see which one makes the line perpendicular.

11,5 is your answer hope its right
