You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Triangle LMN looks like an isoceles triangle but we must check that 
: 
Coordinates of point L are (0,5) 
Coordinates of point M are (6,4) 
Coordinates of point N are (0,2) 
:  
Let X be the midpoint of LM 
Let Y be the midpoint of MN 
: 
X = ( 0+6/2, 5+4/2 ) = (3, 4.5) 
Y = ( 0+6/2, 4+2/2 ) = (3, 3)
