ABC is an isosceles triangle. If the coordinates of the base are B (1,3) and C (– 2, 7), the coordinates of vertex A can be
A
(1, 6)
B
C
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The vertex 
is equidistant from B and C because ABC is an isosceles triangle. Therefore,
Thus, any point lying on this line can be the vertex A except the mid-point 
of BC.
