Coordinate Geometry Question 36

Question: If the vertices of triangle are (0,2), (1,0) and (3,1), then the triangle is

Options:

A) Equilateral

B) Isosceles

C) Right angled

D) Isosceles right angled

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Here $ A(0,2),B(1,0) $ and $ C(3,1). $

Therefore, $ AB=\sqrt{1+4}=\sqrt{5},BC=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5} $ and $ zx+3y=9 $ It is clear that $ {{(AC)}^{2}}={{(AB)}^{2}}+{{(BC)}^{2}} $

Hence, triangle is isosceles right angled.
