उत्तर
Let the points be P(2, 0), Q(–2, 0) and R(0, 2).
Distance between two points = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
By distance formula,
d(P, Q) = `sqrt([(-2) - 2]^2 + (0 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((-4)^2 + (0)^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 0)`
= 4 ...(i)
d(Q, R) = `sqrt([0 - (-2)]^2 + (2 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((2)^2 + (2)^2`
= `sqrt(4 + 4)`
= `sqrt(8)` ...(ii)
d(P, R) = `sqrt((0 -2)^2 + (2 - 0)^2`
= `sqrt((- 2)^2 + (2)^2`
= `sqrt(4 + 4)`
= `sqrt(8)` ...(iii)
On adding (ii) and (iii),
d(P, Q) + d(Q, R) = `4 + sqrt(8)`
`4 + sqrt(8) > sqrt(8)`
∴ d(P, Q) + d(Q, R) > d(P, R)
∴ Points P, Q, R are non colinear points.
We can construct a triangle through 3 non collinear points.
∴ The segment joining the given points form a triangle.
Since P(Q, R) = P(P, R)
∴ ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle.
∴ The segment joining the points (2, 0), (–2, 0) and (0, 2) will form an isosceles triangle.

Alia and Shagun are friends living on the same street in Patel Nagar. Shagun's house is at the intersection of one street with another street on which there is a library. They both study in the same school and that is not far from Shagun's house. Suppose the school is situated at the point O, i.e., the origin, Alia's house is at A. Shagun's house is at B and library is at C. |
