In the given computation, the error is in solving the distance of XZ. The square of -2 is not -4 for but +4.

The correct computation will be:


\begin{gathered} \text{ XZ = }\sqrt[]{(6-0)^2+(1-3)^2\text{ }} \\ \text{ XZ = }\sqrt[]{(6)^2+(-2)^2} \\ \text{ XZ = }\sqrt[]{36\text{ + 4}} \\ \text{ XZ = }\sqrt[]{40} \end{gathered}

Therefore, according to the correct calculations, the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
