Answer:
Correct Answer: 88.(a)
Solution:
Formula:
- The points of intersection of three lines are $A(1,1), B(2,-2), C(-2,2)$.
Now,
$$ \begin{aligned} & |A B|=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10} \\ & |B C|=\sqrt{16+16}=4 \sqrt{2} \end{aligned} $$
$$ \text { and } \quad|C A|=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10} $$
$\therefore$ Triangle is an isosceles.
