    The points \[(2,4),\] \[(2,6)\] and \[(2+\sqrt{3},\,5)\] are the vertices of:

    A) an equilateral triangle

    B) an isosceles triangle

    C) a right triangle

    D) a right angled isosceles triangle

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let ABC be the triangle whose vertices are \[A(2,4),\]\[B(2,6)\]and \[C(2+\sqrt{3},5)\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,AB=\sqrt{{{(2-2)}^{2}}+{{(6-4)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{0}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}}=2\]
    \[BC=\sqrt{{{(2+\sqrt{3}-2)}^{2}}+{{(5-6)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}+{{(-1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4}=2\]\[AC=\sqrt{{{(2+\sqrt{3}-2)}^{2}}+{{(5-4)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4}=2\]We have, \[AB=BC=AC=2\]
    Hence,  \[\Delta ABC\]is an equilateral triangle .
