If you were to create a right triangle on the grid, what would the vertical and horizontal lengths be? Do these lengths match those you found in parts D and E of question 1?

-(Answer for D:)
The greater x-coordinate is 4. So, subtract the lesser x-coordinate, -2, from the greater x-coordinate, 4.

4 − (-2) = 6

Subtracting the lesser x-coordinate from the greater x-coordinate gives a difference of 6. So, 6 is the horizontal length.


-(Answer for E:)
The greater y-coordinate is 1. So, subtract the lesser y-coordinate, -1, from the greater y-coordinate, 1.

1 − (-1) = 2

Subtracting the lesser y-coordinate from the greater y-coordinate gives a difference of 2. So, 2 is the vertical length.
