1.

The points P(0, 6), Q(-5, 3) and R(3, 1) are the vertices of a triangle which isA. equilateralB. isoscelesC. scaleneD. right angled

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`PQ^(2) = (-5-0)^(2) + (3-6)^(2) = (-5)^(2) + (-3)^(2) = 25 +9 = 34`
`QR^(2) = (3+5)^(2) + (1-3)^(2) = 8^(2) + (-2)^(2) = 64+ 4 = 68`
`PR^(2) = (3-0)^(2) + (1-6)^(2) = 3^(2) + (-5)^(2) = (9+25) = 34`
`therefore PQ^(2) + PR^(2) = QR^(2)`
Hence, `Delta PQR` is right-angled.
