A square has vertices J(–1, 4), U(5, 4), M(5, –2), P(–1, –2). After a dilation, square J U M P has vertices J(–0.5, 2), U(2.5, 2), M(2.5, –1), P(–0.5, –1). What is the scale factor of the dilation?

answer:   rlly

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.
