The vertices D, E and F in the triangle DEF are the coordinates of the triangle
The triangle DEF can be classified as an isosceles triangle
<h3>The length of each side of the triangle</h3>
The vertices of the triangle are given as:
D = (2, 1)
E = (3,5)
F = (6,2)
The side length of the triangle is calculated using:
L = √[(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)²]
So, we have:
DE = √[(5 - 1)² + (3 - 2)²]
DE = √17
DF = √[(2 - 1)² + (6 - 2)²]
DF = √17
EF = √[(2 - 5)² + (6 - 3)²]
EF = √18
Hence, the side lengths of the triangle DEF are √17, √17 and √18
<h3>The slope of each side of the triangle</h3>
The slope of the lengths is calculated using:
m = (y₁ - y₂)/(x₁ - x₂)
So, we have:
DE = (5 - 1)/(3 - 2)
DE = 4
DF = (2 - 1)/(6 - 2)
DF = 1/4
EF = (2 - 5)/(6 - 3)
EF = -1
Hence, the slopes of the sides are 4, 1/4 and -1
<h3>Classify the triangle</h3>
In (a) and (b) above, we have sides DE and DF to be congruent and none of the slopes are equal ot opposite reciprocals
Hence, the triangle DEF is an isosceles triangle
