Answer:

Solution

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 =

(x

−x

)

+(y

−y

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,

AB

2

+BC

=106+106=212

∴AB

+BC

=AC

(Pythagoras theorem)

Hence, proved

∴ Δ ABC is a right triangle
