Answer:
AB = √37
BC = 2√5
AC = √41
Type: SCALENE TRIANGLE
Explanation:
Given the coordinates
A(1, –9), B(0, –3), C(–4, –5)
We are to find the length of each sides first. Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points, we will have;
For A(1, –9) and B(0, –3)
AB = √(-3+9)²+(0-1)²
AB = √6²+(-1)²
AB = √36+1
AB = √37
For coordinates B(0, –3) and C(–4, –5)
BC = √(-5+3)²+(-4-0)²
BC= √(-2)²+(-4)²
BC = √4+16
BC = √20
BC = 2√5
For coordinates A(1, –9), C(–4, –5)
AC = √(-5+9)²+(-4-1)²
AC= √(4)²+(-5)²
AC = √16+25
AC = √41
Since the sides of the triangles are all different, hence the triangle is a SCALENE triangle
