Classify triangles by distance formula

Front

What is the distance formula used to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Front

Given points A(1, 2), B(1, 5), and C(4, 2), classify the triangle ABC.

Back

Isosceles (AB = AC) because two sides are equal.

Front

Given points A(0, 0), B(3, 4), and C(6, 0), classify the triangle ABC.

Back

Scalene (all sides are different lengths).
