The points (0,7,10),(-1,6,6) and (-4,9,6) form
Options
- Aa right angled isosceles triangle
- Ba scalene triangle
- Ca right angled triangle
- Dan equilateral triangle
Correct answer
A. a right angled isosceles triangle
Step-by-step solution
Let P (0,7,10), Q (-1,6,6) and R (-4,9,6) be the vertices of a triangle Here, PQ = 1+1+16 =3 2 array l QR = 9+9+0 =3 2 PR = 16+4+16 =6 Now, PQ ²+ QR ²=(3 2 )²+(3 2 )²=36=( PR )² array Therefore, PQR is a right angled triangle at Q . Also, OQ = QR . Hence, PQR is a right angled isosceles triangle.
