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), 𝐵(6, 4) and 𝐶(− 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,
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = (𝑥'  𝑥)2 + (𝑦'  𝑦)2, where (𝑥, 𝑦) and (𝑥', 𝑦') are the coordinates of the two points.
The length of 𝐴𝐵 =  (6  3)2 + (4-0)2
⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = 25
⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = 5 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
The length of 𝐵𝐶 =  (-1  6)2 + (3-4)2
⇒ 𝐵𝐶 =50
⇒ 𝐵𝐶 = 7. 07 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
The length of 𝐶𝐴 =  (3-(-1))2 + (0-3)2

⇒ 𝐶𝐴 = 25
⇒ 𝐶𝐴 = 5 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
When points 𝐴, 𝐵 and 𝐶 are joined, then ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 is formed in which two sides are equal. The equal sides are 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐶𝐴, each equal to 5 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠, so ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 is an isosceles triangle.
To check whether this triangle is right-angled or not, we can use Pythagoras’ theorem. According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
𝐵𝐶2 = 𝐴𝐵2   + 𝐶𝐴2
Finding the value of RHS by putting the value of variables, we get

𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐶𝐴2   = 52   + 52
= 25 + 25
= 50
Now, the value of LHS is
⇒ 𝐵𝐶2 = 50
Thus, 𝐵𝐶2 = 𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐶𝐴2. So, ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 is a right-angled isosceles triangle. Hence, proved.
