    If the points (1,1) (-1,-1) \[(-\sqrt{3},\sqrt{3})\]are the vertices of a triangle, then this triangle is  [MP PET 2004]

    A) Equilateral

    B) Right-angled

    C) Isosceles

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, vertices of triangle are \[A(1,\,1),\,B(-1,\,-1)\] and \[C(-\sqrt{3},\,\sqrt{3})\] Now, \[AB=\sqrt{{{(-1-1)}^{2}}+{{(-1-1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}\]                  \[BC=\sqrt{{{(-\sqrt{3}+1)}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{3}+1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{8}\]          \[CA=\sqrt{{{(1+\sqrt{3})}^{2}}+{{(1-\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}=\sqrt{8}\] i.e., \[AB=BC=CA\]. So, it is an equilateral triangle.
