Answer:  The calculations are done below.


Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Let the vertices be A(2,0), B(3,2) and C(5,1). Then,

AB=\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(0-2)^2}=\sqrt{5},\\\\BC=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(2-1)^2}=\sqrt{5},\\\\CA=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{10}.

Since, AB = BC and AB² + BC² = CA², so triangle ABC here will be an isosceles right-angled triangle.

(ii) Let the vertices be A(4,2), B(6,2) and C(5,3.73). Then,

AB=\sqrt{(4-6)^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{4}=2,\\\\BC=\sqrt{(6-5)^2+(2-3.73)^2}=\sqrt{14.3729},\\\\CA=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3.73-2)^2}=\sqrt{14.3729}.

Since, BC = CA, so the triangle ABC will be an isosceles triangle.

(iii) Let the vertices be A(-5,2), B(-4,4) and C(-2,2). Then,

AB=\sqrt{(-5+4)^2+(2-4)^2}=\sqrt{5},\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-4+2)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt{8},\\\\CA=\sqrt{(-2+5)^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{9}.

Since, AB ≠ BC ≠ CA, so this will be an acute scalene triangle, because all the angles are acute.

(iv) Let the vertices be A(-3,1), B(-3,4) and C(-1,1). Then,

AB=\sqrt{(-3+3)^2+(1-4)^2}=\sqrt{9}=3,\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-3+1)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{13},\\\\CA=\sqrt{(-1+3)^2+(1-1)^2}=\sqrt 4.

Since AB² + CA² = BC², so this will be a right angled triangle.

(v) Let the vertices be A(-4,2), B(-2,4) and C(-1,4). Then,

AB=\sqrt{(-4+2)^2+(2-4)^2}=\sqrt{8},\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-2+1)^2+(4-4)^2}=\sqrt{1}=1,\\\\CA=\sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt{13}.

Since AB ≠ BC ≠ CA, and so this will be an obtuse scalene triangle, because one angle that is opposite to CA will be obtuse.

Thus, the match is done.

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given  the following pair of vertices we have to find the nature

first pair of vertices of triangle A(2, 0), B(3, 2), C(5, 1)  

By distance formula

AB=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(2-0)^2}=\sqrt5

BC=\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(1-2)^2}=\sqrt5

AC=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt10

gives AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

Hence, right angled triangle

A(4, 2), B(6, 2), C(5, 3.73)


AB=\sqrt{(6-4)^2+(2-2)^2}=2

BC=\sqrt{(5-6)^2+(3.73-2)^2}=\sqrt3.993

AC=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3.73-2)^2}=\sqrt3.992

Isosceles triangle

A(-5, 2), B(-4, 4), C(-2, 2)

AB=\sqrt{(-4+5)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt5

BC=\sqrt{(-2+4)^2+(2-4)^2}=\sqrt8

AC=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(1-0)^2}=3

Scalene triangle

A(-3, 1), B(-3, 4), C(-1, 1)

AB=\sqrt{(-3+3)^2+(4-1)^2}=3

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

AC=\sqrt{(-1+3)^2+(1-1)^2}=2

Isosceles triangle

A(-4, 2), B(-2, 4), C(-1, 4)



AB=\sqrt{(-2+4)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt8

BC=\sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(4-4)^2}=1

AC=\sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt13


Scalene triangle

(3x-3)° [6{x-10)]° what is the value of x
DerKrebs [107]
Solve for x over the real numbers:18 ° (x - 1) (x - 10 ° x) = 0
Divide both sides by 18 °:(x - 1) (x - 10 ° x) = 0
Split into two equations:x - 1 = 0 or x - 10 ° x = 0
Add 1 to both sides:x = 1 or x - 10 ° x = 0
Collect in terms of x:x = 1 or (1 - 10 °) x = 0
Divide both sides by 1 - 10 °:Answer:  x = 1 or x = 0

Solve each equation. Showing your reasoning. X^2-6x-20=7
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

x=-3,x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-6x-20-7=0

x^2-6x-27=0

x^2-(9-3)x-27=0

x^2-9x+3x-27=0

x(x-9)+3(x-9)=0

(x+3)(x-9)=0

x=-3,x=9
