Verify the following:
(0, 7, -10), (1, 6, -6) and (4, 9, -6) are vertices of an isosceles triangle.
Given: Points are A(0, 7, -10), B(1, 6, -6) and C(4, 9, -6)
To prove: the triangle formed by given points is an isosceles triangle
Isosceles right-angled triangle is a triangle whose two sides are equal
Formula used:
The distance between any two points (a, b, c) and (m, n, o) is given by,
Therefore,
Distance between A(0, 7, -10) and B(1, 6, -6) is AB,
Distance between B(1, 6, -6) and C(4, 9, -6)is BC,
Distance between A(0, 7, -10) and C(4, 9, -6) is AC,
= 6
Clearly,
AB = BC
Thus, Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle
Hence Proved
