You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given only the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle how would you verify that the triangle has congruent base angles?
---------------------------------
Use the distance formula to find the length of the 3 sides: a,b,c
---------------------------
Use the Law of Cosines to find the measure of two angles.
Cos(A) = [b^2 + c^2 - a^2]/[2bc]
-------------------------------
Subtract their sum from 180 to find the meansure of the third angle.
