I believe that you need to find the length of the sides of
the triangle ABC.
Given the vertices's A(2,1), B(-1,4), and
C(-4,3).
Let us use the distance formula to find the length
of the sides AB, BC, and AC.
==> AB = sqrt( xA-xB)^2
+ (yA-yB)^2
= sqrt(2+1)^2 + (1-4)^2 = sqrt(3^2
+ -3^2)
= sqrt(18) =
3sqrt2
==> AB =
3sqrt2.
==> AC = sqrt(xA-xC)^2 +
(yA-yC)^2
= sqrt(2+4)^2 + (
1-3)^2
= sqrt(6^2 +
-2^2)
= sqrt(36+ 4) = sqrt40.=
2sqrt10
==> AC =
2sqrt10.
==> BC = sqrt(xB-xC)^2 +
(yB-yC)^2
= sqrt(-1+4)^2 +
(4-3)^2
= sqrt(3^2 +
1)
=
sqrt10.
==> BC =
sqrt10
