Graph a right triangle with the two points forming the hypotenuse. Using the sides, find the distance between the two points, to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
Let's assume the two points forming the hypotenuse are A(0,0) and B(4,3).
The sides of the right triangle will be AB, the hypotenuse, and the two legs AC and BC.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse (AB) as:
AB = √((4-0)^2 + (3-0)^2)
AB = √(16 + 9)
AB = √25
AB = 5
Therefore, the distance between points A and B is 5 units.
Here is the graph of the right triangle with the two points forming the hypotenuse AB:
