Question: Prove that the points A(-5, 4), B(-1, -2) and C(5, 2) are the vertices of an isosceles right angled triangle.
Given that ABC is a triangle.

If ABC is an isosceles D le, then AB = BC.






Hence ABC is an isosceles triangle.
If it is a right angled triangle then,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2



AC2 = 104 units


= 2 x 52
= 104 units
Hence AC2 = AB2 + BC2 and AB = BC

In the above Cartesian system problem solving, we can see while calculating the Pythagoras theorem is used.
