MCQ
A triangle with vertices $(4, 0),\, (-1, -1),\, (3, 5)$ is
  • Isosceles and right angled
  • B
    Isosceles but not right angled
  • C
    Right angled but not isosceles
  • D
    Neither right angled nor isosceles

Answer

Correct option: A.
Isosceles and right angled
a
(a) Let $A\,(4,\,\,0),\,\,B\,( - 1,\, - 1),\,\,C\,(3,\,\,5)$ then $AB = \sqrt {26} ,$ $AC = \sqrt {26} $ and $BC = \sqrt {52} \,\,i.e.,\,\,\,AB = AC$.

Hence triangle is isosceles. Also, ${(BC)^2} = A{B^2} + A{C^2}$

Hence triangle is right angled also.
