Question

If the dimensions of the triangle PQR are as given, then find the set of possible coordinates of the points P, Q and R.

• A. P(2,2); Q(2,5); R(6,2)
• B. P(3,3); Q(3,5); R(6,3)
• C. P(3,3); Q(3,6); R(6,3)
• D. P(2,2); Q(5,2); R(6,2)

Answer 1

The correct option is A P(2,2); Q(2,5); R(6,2)

Plotting each set of coordinates and measuring the sides, we find:

$Set1:P(2,2);Q(2,5);R(6,2)$


$Set2:P(3,3);Q(3,5);R(6,3)$


$Set3:P(3,3);Q(3,6);R(6,3)$


$Set4:P(2,2);Q(5,2);R(6,2)$


Hence, the set of coordinates that forms the triangle PQR, as per the given data are:

P(2,2); Q(2,5); R(6,2)
