Question

50 points!!

The vertices of a triangle are A(2, 1), B(5, 3) and C(0, 4). Classify the triangle as equilateral, isosceles or scalene.

SHOW WORK PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

scalene

Explanation:

from A to B

the difference is x's is 3

the difference in y's is 2

3^2 + 4^2 = 9 +16 = 25, square of 25 is 5

from B to C

x's : 5 and y's : 4

25+ 16 = 36

the square root of 36 is 6

fromA to C

x's :4 and y's : 3

16 + 9 = 25 . the square root of 25 is 5

the dimensions of the triangle are 4,5,6

all the sides are different so is scalene

Answer 2

It's a scalene triangle

Explanation:

I graphed each point and here's the picture.

You can see how from point C to A is a distance of 4 blocks,

distance from point A to B is 3 blocks, and B to C is 5 blocks.

So this triangle is a scalene triangle.
