Lines joining points (-4, 0), (0, 5) and (4, 0) will form

Lines joining points (-4, 0), (0, 5) and (4, 0) will form Correct Answer an isosceles triangle

Let the points be A( - 4, 0), B(0, 5) and C(4, 0). Now, AB = √{( - 4 - 0)2  + (0 - 5)2} = √41 BC = √{(0 - 4)2  + (5 - 0)2} = √41 CA = √{(4 + 4)2  + (0 - 0)2} = 8 Here, AB = BC. So, the triangle will be an isosceles triangle.
