Find the distance between DE, EF, Df . Then decide the type of triangle
Use distance formula
L(DE)
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2

6 -6 39 -12
d=
d=
d=
d=
l(DE)= 33.54
l(EF)
x1 y1 x2 y2

39 -12 24 18
d=
d=
d=
d=
d= 33.54
l(EF)
x1 y1 x2 y2

24 18 6 -6
d=
d=
d=
d=
d= 30.00
Two sides are equal hence aisoscles triangle
