In the first question, a right triangle was created, using the radius of the circle as the hypotenuse, such that one leg had a slope of zero, and the other leg's slope was undefined. Why was this?
- This is the only right triangle that can be formed for the given hypotenuse.
- This is the only right triangle that can be formed for the given hypotenuse that is completely inside the given circle.
- Using a right triangle with legs that have either a slope of zero or an undefined slope means that they represent the vertical and horizontal distance of the hypotenuse.
- There is no need for this triangle, but it makes the question more difficult because it results in two possible correct answers.
