उत्तर
Distance between two points = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
By distance formula,
AB = `sqrt((1- 1)^2 + (6 - 2)^2`
= `sqrt(0^2 + 4^2)`
= `sqrt(4^2)`
= 4 ...(i)
BC = `sqrt((1 + 2sqrt(3) - 1)^2 + (4 - 6)^2`
= `sqrt((2sqrt(3))^2 + (-2)^2`
= `sqrt(12 + 4)`
= `sqrt(16)`
= 4 ...(ii)
AC = `sqrt((1 + 2sqrt(3) - 1)^2 + (4 -2)^2`
= `sqrt((2sqrt(3))^2 + 2^2`
= `sqrt(12 + 4)`
= `sqrt(16)`
= 4 ...(iii)
∴ AB = BC = AC ...[From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
∴ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ Points A, B and C are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km. A family from Uttar Pradesh planned a round trip from Lucknow (L) to Puri (P) via Bhuj (B) and Nashik (N) as shown in the given figure below.
