Answer

Yes

Work Step by Step

Points are $(2,6)$, $(0, -2)$, and $(5,1)$ Distance between $(2,6)$ and $(0,-2)$ $\sqrt {(6- -2)^2 + (2-0)^2}$ $\sqrt {(8^2 + 2^2)}$ $\sqrt {64+4}$ $\sqrt {68}$ Distance between $(2,6)$ and $(5,1)$ $\sqrt {(6-1)^2 + (5-2)^2}$ $\sqrt {5^2 + 3^2}$ $\sqrt {25 + 9}$ $\sqrt {34}$ Distance between $(0,-2)$ and $(5,1)$ $\sqrt {(5-0)^2 + (1- -2)^2}$ $\sqrt {5^2 + 3^2}$ $\sqrt {25+9}$ $\sqrt {34}$ The distance of two line segments of the triangle are the same. Thus, the triangle is isosceles.
