Position and label right triangle XYZ with leg long on the coordinate plane. d units Use the origin as vertex X of the triangle. Place the base of the triangle along the positive x-axis. Position the triangle in the first quadrant. Since Z is on the x-axis, its y-coordinate is 0. Its X (0, 0) x-coordinate is d because the base is d units long. Z (d, 0)
Since triangle XYZ is a right triangle the x-coordinate of Y is 0. We cannot determine the y-coordinate so call it b. Answer: Y (0, b) X (0, 0) Z (d, 0)
Position and label equilateral triangle ABC with side w units long on the coordinate plane. Answer:
Name the missing coordinates of isosceles right triangle QRS. Q is on the origin, so its coordinates are (0, 0). The x-coordinate of S is the same as the x-coordinate for R, (c, ? ). The y-coordinate for S is the distance from R to S. Since QRS is an isosceles right triangle, The distance from Q to R is c units. The distance from R to S must be the same. So, the coordinates of S are (c, c). Answer: Q(0, 0); S(c, c)
Name the missing coordinates of isosceles right ABC. Answer: C(0, 0); A(0, d)
Write a coordinate proof to prove that the segment that joins the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle to the midpoint of its base is perpendicular to the base.
The first step is to position and label a right triangle on the coordinate plane. Place the base of the isosceles triangle along the x-axis. Draw a line segment from the vertex of the triangle to its base. Label the origin and label the coordinates, using multiples of 2 since the Midpoint Formula takes half the sum of the coordinates. Given: XYZ is isosceles. Prove:

Proof: Vertex A is at the origin and B is at (0, 10). The x-coordinate of C is 16. The y-coordinate is halfway between 0 and 10 or 5. So, the coordinates of C are (16, 5). Determine the lengths of CA and CB. Since each leg is the same length, ABC is isosceles. The flag is shaped like an isosceles triangle.
