MCQ
If the points $(1,1) \,(-1,-1)$ $( - \sqrt 3 ,\sqrt 3 )$ are the vertices of a triangle, then this triangle is 
  • Equilateral
  • B
    Right-angled
  • C
    Isosceles
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Equilateral
a
(a) Given, vertices of triangle are $A(1,\,1),\,B( - 1,\, - 1)$ and $C( - \sqrt 3 ,\,\sqrt 3 )$

Now, $AB = \sqrt {{{( - 1 - 1)}^2} + {{( - 1 - 1)}^2}} = \sqrt {4 + 4} = \sqrt 8 $

$BC = \sqrt {{{( - \sqrt 3 + 1)}^2} + {{(\sqrt 3 + 1)}^2}} = \sqrt 8 $

$CA = \sqrt {{{(1 + \sqrt 3 )}^2} + {{(1 - \sqrt 3 )}^2}} = \sqrt 8 $

i.e., $AB = BC = CA$. So, it is an equilateral triangle.
