A triangle has corners A, B, and C located at #(4 ,7 )#, #(9 ,5 )#, and #(6 ,2 )#, respectively. What are the endpoints and length of the altitude going through corner C?
1 Answer
Endpoints
Length
Explanation:
One of the endpoints is point
line AB equation by the two-point form
Given
Solve for the equation containing the altitude thru C using point-slope form
slope
Solve for the other endpoint using first and second equations
Simultaneous solution results to:
Solve for the length of the altitude:from
God bless...I hope the explanation is useful..
