Ke shawn is placing a right triangle in the coordinate plane. he knows that the longer leg is twice the length of the shorter leg. he places the longer leg on the x-axis.

what coordinates should he assign to the third vertex of the triangle?

enter your answer in the boxes.

(2a,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the short side times 2 would equal the long side. We know this because the question says: "the longer leg is twice the length of the shorter leg". And the length of the short side is "a". so 2 times the length of the shorter leg, "a", equals the longer side: 2 • a = longer side or 2a. Since the side is on the x-axis, 2a is the first coordnate. Then, the side is exactly on the x-axis so the y-coordnate is 0. (2a, 0)
