Using the origin as one vertex, plot the vertices of:
(A) A right-angled isosceles triangle.
(B) An isosceles triangle with one vertex in Quadrant III and the other in Quadrant IV.
(A) A right-angled isosceles triangle with right angle at O and the two equal legs along the axes works well.
Consider:
, on the -axis, on the -axis.
Here, units (the two equal legs).
Angle (angle between the axes).
Hypotenuse .
So, is right-angled and isosceles.
(B) To construct an isosceles triangle with O as one vertex, one vertex in Quadrant III ( , ) and another in Quadrant IV ( , ). Choose two points symmetric about the -axis so that their distances from O are equal.
Consider:
, in Q-III, in Q-IV.
So, , the triangle is isosceles.
