  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    The points (12,8),(-2,6) and (6,0 )

    To find:

    Show that the points (12,8),(-2,6) and (6,0 ) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

    Solution:

    Given points are (12,8),(-2,6) and (6,0 )

    Let A = (12,8)

    B = (-2,6)

    C= (6,0)

    To show that the points A,B,C are the vertices of an Isosceles triangle ABC then we have to show that the lengths of any two sides are equal.

    Length of AB:

    Let (x1, y1)=A(12,8) => x1=12 and y1=8

    Let (x2, y2)=B(-2,6)=>x2=-2 and y2=6

    We know that

    Distance formula:-

    The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units

    => AB = √[(-2-12)^2+(6+8)^2]

    => AB = √[(-14)^2+(14)^2]

    => AB = √(196+196)

    => AB =√(2×196)

    AB = 14√2 units ———–(1)

    Length of BC:

    Let (x1, y1)=B(-2,6) => x1=-2 and y1=6

    Let (x2, y2)=C(6,0)=>x2=6and y2=0

    We know that

    Distance formula:-

    The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units

    => BV = √[(6-(-2))^2+(0-6)^2]

    => BC = √[(6+2)^2+(-6)^2]

    => BC = √(64+36)

    => BC =√(100)

    BC = 10 units ———–(2)

    Length of AC:

    Let (x1, y1)=A(12,8) => x1=12 and y1=8

    Let (x2, y2)=C(6,0)=>x2=6and y2=0

    We know that

    Distance formula:-

    The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units

    => AC = √[(6-12)^2+(0-8)^2]

    => AC = √[(-6)^2+(-8)^2]

    => AC = √(36+64)

    => AC =√(100)

    AC = 10 units ———–(3)

    From (2)&(3)

    Length of BC = Length of AC

    => BC = AC

    => Lengths of the two sides of the triangle are equal.

    => A,B,C are the vertices of the Isosceles triangle ABC.

    Answer:

    Given points (12,8),(-2,6) and (6,0 ) are the vertices of the Isosceles triangle.

    Used formulae:

    1.The lengths of any two sides of a triangle are equal then it is an Isosceles triangle.

    2.The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units
