Answer:
The triangle is a scalene triangle that has all three sides having different lengths
Step-by-step explanation:
The given vertices (and their coordinates) of the triangle are;
A(-1, 3)
B(-3, 5)
C(3, 2)
The equation for finding the lengths of a segment, l, given the coordinates, x, y is presented as follows;
[tex]l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}[/tex]
For segment AB, when, (x₁, y₁) = A(-1, 3) and (x₂, y₂) = B(-3, 5), we have;
[tex]l = \sqrt{\left (5-3 \right )^{2}+\left (-3-(-1) \right )^{2}} = 2\cdot\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Length of segment AB = 2·√2
For segment AC, when, (x₁, y₁) = A(-1, 3) and (x₂, y₂) = C(3, 2), we have;
[tex]l = \sqrt{\left (2-3 \right )^{2}+\left (3-(-1) \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{17}[/tex]
Length of segment AC = √17
For segment BC, when, (x₁, y₁) = B(-3, 5) and (x₂, y₂) = C(3, 2), we have;
[tex]l = \sqrt{\left (2-5 \right )^{2}+\left (3-(-3) \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}[/tex]
Length of segment AC = 3·√5
The triangle is a scalene triangle that has all three sides having different lengths.
