A triangle with vertices (4, 0), (-1, -1), (3, 5) is
A triangle with vertices (4, 0), (-1, -1), (3, 5) is
- right angled but not isosceles
- neither right angled nor isosceles
- isosceles and right angled
- isosceles but not right angled
Answer
A(4, 0), B(-1, -1), C(3, 5) are the vertices of a triangle. Then
AB2 = (-1-4)2 + (-1-0)2 = 26
BC2 = (3+1)2 + (5+1)2 = 52
CA2 = (4-3)2 + (0-5)2 = 26
This implies, CA2 + AB2 = BC2
Thus, the triangle is isosceles and right angle triangle.
The correct option is C.
