Step-by-step explanation:
- Given that ABC is an isosceles triangle.
- The two vertices are B (1,3) = (x₂,y₂) and C (-2,7) = (x₂,y₂)
- We have to find the co-ordinates of the vertex A
- Since the triangle is an isosceles triangle So,
- AB = AC ............. (1)
- And also vertex A lies on y-axis.
- Let A be (0,y) = (x₁,y₁)
- Equation (1) ⇒ AB = AC
- √ [(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] = √ [(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
- (1 - 0)² + (3 - y)² = (- 2 - 0)² + (7 - y)²
- 1 + (3 - y)² = 2 + (7 - y)²
- 1 + 9 + y² - 6y = 2 + 49 + y² -14y
- 10 - 6y = 51 - 14y
- 14y - 6y = 51 - 10
- 9y = 41
- y=
- 9
- 41
- y = 4.6
- So, co-ordinates of the vertex A are A (0,4.6)
