Answer:
D. Triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle because QR = RS.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the length of each side of the triangle using the formula for calculating the distance between two points.
D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
For side RS
R(0,0) and S(5, -3.322)
RS = √(5-0)²+(-3.322-0)²
RS = √25+11.035684
RS = √36.035684
RS = 6.0029
For side RQ
R(0,0) and Q(-3, -5.2)
RQ = √(-3-0)²+(-5.2-0)²
RQ = √9+27.04
RQ = √36.04
RQ = 6.0033
For side QS
Q(-3,-5.2) and S(5, -3.322)
QS = √(5+3)²+(-3.322+5.2)²
QS = √64+3.526884
QS = √67.526884
QS = 8.22
From the calculation it can be seen that RS=QR
Since the two sides f the triangle are equal, hence the triangle is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides equal
