Which type of triangle can be drawn using the points (-2,-7), (6,-5), and (5,-2)?
+23254 A = (-2, -7) B = (6, -5) C = (5, -2)
Use the distance formula to find the three lengths AB, BC, and AC.
If all three are equal, it's equilateral; if two are equal, it's isoscles; if all are different, it's scalene.
Also, see if the three lengths fit the Pythagorean Theorem; if so, it's a right triangle.
