Show that points A(3,-1) , B(-1 , 2) and C (6,3) form an isosceles right -angled triangle when joined .

Answer» Given , A = (3 , -1) , B(-1, 2) and C = (6,3).
AB = `sqrt((-1-3)^(2) + (2+1)^(2)) = 5` units
BC = `sqrt((6-(-1))^(2) + (3-2)^(2)) = sqrt(50) `units
AC = `sqrt((6-3)^(2) + (3-(-1))^(2)) = 5 ` units
Clearly ,
`BC^(2) = AB^(2) + AC^(2)` .
Also , AB = AC.
Hence , the given points from the vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle .
