Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the points are A (7,9) ,B(3,-7) and C(-3,3)
AB²=(7-3)²+(9+7)²=4²+16²=16+256=272
BC²=(3+3)²+(-7-3)²=6²+(-10)²=36+100=136
CA²=(-3-7)²+(3-9)²=(-10)²+(-6)²=136
We observe that
AB²=272=136+136=BC²+CA²
Thus by Pythagoras theorem ΔABC is a right angled triangle
with C as a right angle
Also BC=CA
Thus it is a isosceles right triangle
