Question

2. Given: Triangle XYZ

Label the coordinates and find the
distances.
Prove: Triangle XYZ is an isosceles
triangle.
PROOF:

Answer 1

x=(1,5)

z=(8,-4)

y=(-6,-4)

distance of XZ= 11.4

distance of ZY= 14

distance of YX= 11.4

this is an isosceles triangle because the distance between XZ and YX are the same meaning two legs of the triangle have equal length which defines an isosceles triangle
