Question

The triangle having vertices ( - 2, 0) (2, 3) and (1, - 3) is ______

Answer 1

Answer:

scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the vertices of the triangle be A(−2,0), B(2,3) and C(1,−3).

We compute the length of the sides as follows:

AB=(2−(−2))2+(3−0)2=42+32=16+9=5

BC=(1−2)2+(−3−3)2=(−1)2+(−6)2=1+36=37

AC=(1−(−2))2+(−3−0)2=32+(−3)2=9+9=18

Since none of the lengths of the sides are equal, therefore, it is a scalene triangle.
