  • question_answer
    The following points A (2a, 4a), B(2a, 6a) and C \[(2a+\sqrt{3}a,\,5a)\], \[(a>0)\] are the vertices of

    A) An acute angled triangle

    B) A right angled triangle

    C) An isosceles triangle

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[AB=\sqrt{{{(2a-2a)}^{2}}+{{(4a-6a)}^{2}}}=2a\] \[BC=\sqrt{{{(\sqrt{3}a)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}=2a\] \[CA=\sqrt{{{(\sqrt{3}a)}^{2}}+{{(-a)}^{2}}}=2a\] Since \[AB=BC=CA,\] hence triangle is equilateral. Therefore, it is an acute angled triangle.
