Question

now, find the length of the other leg of this right triangle. what is the length of the line segment between point b and point c? label the length on the coordinate plane.
(coordinate plane image with points a(8, 3), b(-2, -5), c(8, -5))

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of B and C

Point B is \((-2, -5)\), Point C is \((8, -5)\).

Step2: Calculate horizontal distance

Since y - coordinates are equal, length is \(|x_C - x_B| = |8 - (-2)| = 10\).

Answer:

10
