    (5, - 2), (6, 4) and (7, - 2) are the vertices of an ......... triangle.

    A) equilateral

    B) right angle

    C) isosceles

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[P\left( 5,\,-2 \right),\,Q\left( 6,\,4 \right)\] and \[R\left( 7,\,-2 \right)\]
    are the given points. Then, \[PQ=\sqrt{{{\left( 6-5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 4+2 \right)}^{2}}}\]
                \[\left[ \because \,d=\sqrt{{{\left( {{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}} \right]\]
     \[=\sqrt{1+36}=\sqrt{37}\] units
    \[QR=\sqrt{{{\left( 7-6 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( -2-4 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{1+36}=\sqrt{37}\] units
    Since, \[PQ=QR\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\Delta PQR\] is an isosceles triangle.
