The points A(-4, 0), B(4, 0) and C(0, 3) are the vertices of a triangle, which is

The distance between any two points P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2) is given by the following formula:



Distance AB =


=


= 8


Distance BC =


=


= 5


Distance AC =


= √(9 + 16)


= √25


= 5


Since the length of two sides is equal, given triangle is an isosceles triangle.
