    A triangle with vertices \[(4,0),\] \[(-1,-1)\] and \[(3,5)\] is a/an:

    A) equilateral triangle

    B) right-angled triangle

    C) isosceles right-angled triangle

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let \[A(4,0),\,\,B(-1,-1),\,\,C(3,5)\]
    \[AB=\sqrt{{{(-1-4)}^{2}}+{{(-1-0)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{26}\]
    \[BC=\sqrt{{{(3+1)}^{2}}+{{(5+1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{52}\]
    \[AC=\sqrt{{{(3-4)}^{2}}+{{(5-0)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{26}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A{{B}^{2}}+A{{C}^{2}}=B{{C}^{2}}\] and \[AB=AC\]
    Hence, triangle is an isosceles right angled triangle.
