Question 1167935: Assign coordinates to the vertices of isosceles triangle PQR with a height of 2 from the base to the vertex

(-a,0), (0,2), and (a,0); a is any nonzero number.

The base is the x-axis and the vertex is (0,2); that makes the height 2.

The triangle is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, that makes the triangle isosceles.
