Question 12 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
An isosceles right triangle must have two equal sides that meet at a right angle. In choice C, XZ and XY are both 5, so the triangle is isosceles. Their slopes are 3/4 and −4/3, which are negative reciprocals; therefore, those segments are perpendicular and meet at a right angle. Choice D establishes equal sides but does not establish a right angle.
