Question

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2, 2), B(4,7), and C(6,2). Classify the triangle according to the side lengths.

Answer 1

Answer:

Isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Length AB

√(4 - 2)² + (7 - 2)²

√2² + 5²

√4 + 25

√29

Length AC

6 - 2 = 4

Length BC

√(6 - 4)² + (2 - 7)²

√2² + (-5)²

√4 + 25

√29

Length AB and BC is the same.

Length AC is the longest side.

Therefore, it is an isosceles triangle.
