Mehek (mehek14):

first you have to find the side lengths of the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how that is what i don't get

Mehek (mehek14):

\(D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}\) use this formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i thought it was a isoceles triangle

Mehek (mehek14):

let me check for u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

Mehek (mehek14):

sides are = 6,5,4 so scalene

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i see what u did and compare it to mine so i can see what i did wrong

Mehek (mehek14):

\(D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}\) plug the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Mehek (mehek14):

i gtg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
