This is what I have so far, but I can't find AC no matter what I do.
The answers are (-2,3), (2,-3),(3,2),(10,11),(9,6),and (14,5) but I don't know how to calculate them.
#How to find C for isosceles triangle
wicked jasper
gusty edgeBOT
mild spruce
so you have to find all the different points of c right?
take every case for which thr triangle would be isoceles
wicked jasper
how do I fidn that though
mild spruce
think about it
wicked jasper
Tried
mild spruce
two sides would be equal
wicked jasper
yeah
mild spruce
thers three sides for a trisngle
wicked jasper
yes
mild spruce
how many possible cases can u form
wicked jasper
but I don't know how to get the points, I could get the length
wicked jasper
how many possible cases can u form
6
mild spruce
yk the distance formula right?
wicked jasper
yeah
wicked jasper
find the coordinates of the third side
I get one side, not two
mild spruce
you get eome value from the distance formula
use it to find coordinates of the other point
mild spruce
I get one side, not two
you already have coordinates of two sides
its easy to find the cords of the third
wicked jasper
no I have coordinates of two points
wicked jasper
so I assume the given side is equal to one of the other sides, then find the distance of all sides and use that to get the point?
wicked jasper
yes
wicked jasper
how do I get the point from one side and knowing the lengths though?
Sorry, I'm just really confused
mild spruce
ok
thats fine
take AB as base
draw a line perpendicular to AB from point C
to the midpoint of AB
considering CA = CB
now find that point
@wicked jasper
mild spruce
then you find slope of AB
from that you can get slope of the perpendicular bisector drawn to the midpoint of AB
from there you can get the equation for the line
