Question

check whether the following points A(4,6),B(-8,1) and C(-1,-6) from an isosceles triangle or not
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC be the triangle A(5,−2),B(6,4),C(7,−2)

By distance formula

AB=

(5−6)

BC=

(6−7)

CA=

(7−5)

Since AB=BC=

37

Hence (5,−2),(6,4) & (7,−2) are vertices of isosceles triangle.
