Question

Is ∆TVS scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? The vertices are T(1, 1), V(4, 0), and S(3, 5).

Answer 1

find the distances between each point then youll be able to know

Answer 2

do you know the distance formula?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

then do that for each point. draw it. it'll help. do you know the differences b/t all 3 different types of triangles?

Answer 5

So all I need t do is solve it with the distance formula and theres my answer? And I kinda forgot the differences between the 3 different types of triangles.

Answer 6

well it's asking what type of triangle is it out of those three. so by finding the lengths of the sides, you'll be able to know what kind of triangle it is because those three triangles all have distinct proportions when it comes to their side lengths.

Answer 7

equilateral tris have equal side lenths

Answer 8

isosceles tris have 2 longer legs that are equal in length

Answer 9

and scalene looks weird. lol like this...

Answer 10

oh so it would be scalene!

Answer 11

actually, scalene triangles have all three of it sides measure differently.

Answer 12

im telling you. draw a pic!

Answer 13

find the distances according to their points. then thats it. you'll be able to use the lenghts to solve what type of tri it is.

Answer 14

idk if its a scalene. lol. i havent found the distances. sorry.

Answer 15

Ok thank you so much for helping me, seemed hard in till you helped me thank you so much! It's alright I can solve it from here now...

Answer 16

are you sure, bc i'll solve for you and explain.
