Detailed Solution

We are given three points, and we have to prove that these three points are the vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle.
Let the three vertices be 𝐴(3, 0), 𝐡(6, 4) and 𝐢(βˆ’ 1, 3).
The distance between the two points gives the length of the line joining these two points. The formula can find the distance between two points,
π‘‘π‘–π‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’ = (π‘₯' βˆ’ π‘₯)2 + (𝑦' βˆ’ π‘¦)2, where (π‘₯, 𝑦) and (π‘₯', 𝑦') are the coordinates of the two points.
The length of 𝐴𝐡 =  (6 βˆ’ 3)2 + (4-0)2
β‡’ 𝐴𝐡 = 25
β‡’ 𝐴𝐡 = 5 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠
The length of 𝐡𝐢 =  (-1 βˆ’ 6)2 + (3-4)2
β‡’ 𝐡𝐢 =50
β‡’ 𝐡𝐢 = 7. 07 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠
The length of 𝐢𝐴 =  (3-(-1))2 + (0-3)2

β‡’ 𝐢𝐴 = 25
β‡’ 𝐢𝐴 = 5 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠
When points 𝐴, 𝐡 and 𝐢 are joined, then βˆ†π΄π΅πΆ is formed in which two sides are equal. The equal sides are 𝐴𝐡 and 𝐢𝐴, each equal to 5 𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑑𝑠, so βˆ†π΄π΅πΆ is an isosceles triangle.
To check whether this triangle is right-angled or not, we can use Pythagoras’ theorem. According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
𝐡𝐢2 = 𝐴𝐡2   + 𝐢𝐴2
Finding the value of RHS by putting the value of variables, we get

𝐴𝐡2 + 𝐢𝐴2   = 52   + 52
= 25 + 25
= 50
Now, the value of LHS is
β‡’ 𝐡𝐢2 = 50
Thus, 𝐡𝐢2 = 𝐴𝐡2 + 𝐢𝐴2. So, βˆ†π΄π΅πΆ is a right-angled isosceles triangle. Hence, proved.
