If the vertices of a triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ are $\mathrm{A}(1,2,3) \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{h},-3,0)$ and $\mathrm{C}(-4, \mathrm{k},-1)$ and the centroid of the triangle is $\left(5,-1, \frac{2}{3}\right)$ then triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ is
  1. an obtuse angled triangle
  2. an acute angled triangle
  3. an isosceles triangle
  4. a right angled triangle

Solution

Given vertices of a tiangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ are $\mathrm{A}(1,2,3), \mathrm{B}=$ $(\mathrm{h},-3,0)$ and $\mathrm{C}(-4, \mathrm{~K},-1)$ and controid of $\varnothing \mathrm{ABC}$ is $\left(5,-1, \frac{2}{3}\right)$ now $\frac{1+\mathrm{h}-4}{3}=5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=18$ and $\frac{2+\mathrm{K}-3}{3}=-1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=-2$ now $\mathrm{A}=(1,2,3) \mathrm{B}=(18,-3,0)$ and $\mathrm{G}=\left(5,-1, \frac{2}{3}\right)$ now $\mathrm{AB}=\sqrt{17^2+(-5)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{323}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{BC}=\sqrt{(-22)^2+1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{486} \\ & \mathrm{CA}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-4)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{57} \end{aligned} $ here $\mathrm{BC}^2>\mathrm{AB}^2+\mathrm{CA}^2$ $\Rightarrow$ Given triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ is an obtuse triangle
