Answer:  The correct option is (C) a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given co-ordinates of a polygon are A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4).

We are to select the correct type of the polygon.

Since we have the co-ordinates of the three points A, B and C, so the polygon will surely be a triangle.

Now, the lengths of the three sides AB, BC and CA of ΔABC can be calculated using distance formula as follows :

AB=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(1-1)^2}=\sqrt{25+0}=\sqrt{25}=5,\\\\BC=\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34},\\\\CA=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(1-4)^2}=\sqrt{0+9}=\sqrt{9}=3.

We have

AB^2+CA^2=5^2+3^2=25+9=34,\\\\BC^2=(\sqrt{34})^2=34.

This implies that

AB^2+CA^2=BC^2,

which is the Pythagorean triple. Hence, triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle.

Thus, (C) is the correct option.

It appears to be a right triangle.

In the rectangle below,
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle,  diagonals are equal and bisect each other

BE  =   AE

6x - 5 = 2x +  7

6x - 2x - 5 = 7

       4x - 5 = 7

             4x = 7 + 5

             4x = 12

               x = 12/4

               x = 3

AE = 2x + 7

     = 2*3 + 7

    = 6 + 7

AE =  13

AC = 13 + 13

AC = 26

m∠EBC = 50

In rectangle, each angle is 90

m∠ABE + m∠EBC = 90

m∠ABE + 50 = 90

          m∠ABE = 90 - 50

          m∠ABE = 40

In rectangle, AB // DC and DB transversal

m∠ECD = m∠ABE   { alternate interior angles}

m∠ECD = 40

Serjik [45]
I’m not *completely* sure if this would be right, but it could possibly be:
160
how i got this:
20 = 150
/(divide) 150
0.13(recurring) = 1
x1200
160 = 1200

if you need me to explain anything in detail, please feel free to message! have a nice day:)<3
