Answer:

Explanation:

Given the coordinates D(-2, 3), E(5, 5), F(-4, 10), to find the measure of the sides, we will use the formula for calculating the distance between 2 points as shown:

D = √(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

For DE;

D(-2, 3), E(5, 5),

DE = √(5-3)²+(5-(-2))²

DE = √2)²+7²

DE = √4+49

DE = √53

For DF;

D(-2, 3), F(-4, 10)

DF = √(10-3)²+(-4-(-2))²

DF = √7²+(-2)²

DF = √49+4

DF = √53

For EF;

E(5, 5) F(-4, 10)

EF = √(10-5)²+(-4-5)²

EF = √5²+(-9)²

EF = √25+81

EF = √106

Since two he sides DE and DF are equal, this shows that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides and angle equal
