    Question

    A triangle with vertices (4, 0), (−1, −1), and (3, 5) is:

    A.

    isosceles right triangle

    B.

    isosceles but not right angled triangle

    C.

    right angled but not isosceles triangle

    D.

    neither right angled nor isosceles triangle

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Vertices of the triangle are
    A(4, 0), B(−1, −1), and C(3, 5)
    Formula used:
    Distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂):
    d = [x2x1)2+(y2y1)2]\sqrt{[x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]}​​
    Solution:
    AB =(14)2+(10)2= \sqrt{(-1 - 4)^2 + (-1 - 0)^2} \\​​
    =(5)2+(1)2=25+1=26= \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-1)^2} \\= \sqrt{25 + 1} = \sqrt{26}​​

    BC =(3(1))2+(5(1))2= \sqrt{(3 - (-1))^2 + (5 - (-1))^2} \\​​
    =(4)2+(6)2=16+36=52=213= \sqrt{(4)^2 + (6)^2} \\= \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}​​

    CA =(34)2+(50)2= \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (5 - 0)^2} \\​​
    =(1)2+(5)2=1+25=26= \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (5)^2} \\= \sqrt{1 + 25} = \sqrt{26}​​
    Thus, AB = CA = √26 => triangle is isosceles.
    Now check for right angle:
    For a right triangle, (hypotenuse)² = (side₁)² + (side₂)²
    (2√13)² = (√26)² + (√26)²
    52 = 26 + 26 = 52
    Hence, the triangle is isosceles right triangle.
    Correct answer is (a) isosceles right triangle.
