    Question

    The points A(0, 6), B(-5, 3), and C(3,1) are the vertices of a triangle. This triangle is-

    A.

    scalene

    B.

    equilateral

    C.

    isosceles

    D.

    right angle triangle

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    The points A(0, 6), B(-5, 3), and C(3,1) are the vertices of a triangle. 

    Formula used:

    Distance between two points , (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1)​ and  (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2)​ = (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

    Solution:

    Length of AB, 

    AB = (50)2+(36)2 \sqrt{(-5 - 0)^2 + (3 - 6)^2} ​​

    AB = =25+9 \sqrt{25 + 9}​​

    AB = 34 \sqrt{34}

    Length of BC,

    BC = (3(5))2+(13)2\sqrt{(3 - (-5))^2 + (1 - 3)^2}

    BC = 64+4\sqrt{64 + 4}

    BC = 68\sqrt{68}
    Length of CA,

    CA = (03)2+(61)2\sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (6 - 1)^2}​​

    CA = 9+25\sqrt{9 + 25}

    CA = 34\sqrt{34}

    So, AB and CA have equal length and BC is different.

    Then Triangle is isosceles.

    Thus, the correct answer is (c).
