Question

A triangle has the vertices (-5,-1), (-2,-3), and (-5,-4). which term describes the triangle?

A. Equilateral triangle
B. Scalene triangle
C. Right triangle
D. Isosceles triangle

Answer 1

The triangle with the given vertices is an D) isosceles triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle with the vertices (-5,-1), (-2,-3), and (-5,-4) is an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.

In this case, the side with vertices (-5,-1) and (-5,-4) is the same length as the side with vertices (-5,-1) and (-2,-3).
