Let the vertices of an isosceles right triangle be A(7,10), B(-2,5) and C(3,-4)
So by distance formula we have,
Distance between two points = (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
AB=(−2−7)2+(5−10)2=81+25=106
BC=(3+2)2+(−4−5)2=(25+81)=106
AC=(3−7)2+(−4−10)2=−16+196=212
∴AB=BC⇒ This implies that ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Also,
AB2+BC2=106+106=212
∴AB2+BC2=AC2 (Pythagoras theorem)
Hence, proved
∴ Δ ABC is a right triangle (proved)
