Denote the three sides of $triangle ABC$ to be $a,b,c$. And they satisfy $$a^2+b+|sqrtc-1-2|=10a+2sqrtb-4-22 $$
Now determine what kind of triangle $triangle ABC$ is.

A.Isosceles triangle which its leg and base is not equal.

B.equilateral triangle

C.Right triangle

D.Isosceles Right triangle




The only information I got is from the number in the radical need to be greater than $0$. Then $bge4$ and $cge 1$. Also $10a+2sqrtb-4-22ge0 $. But they are all inequalities. What we need is some equalities. It would be great to have some hints.

          We have
          $$|sqrtc-1-2|=10a+2sqrtb-4-22-a^2-btag1$$
          from which
          $$10a+2sqrtb-4-22-a^2-bge 0tag2$$
          follows.



          $(2)$ is equivalent to
          $$a^2-10a+b-2sqrtb-4+22le 0,$$
          i.e.
          $$(a-5)^2-25+(b-4)+4-2sqrtb-4+22le 0,$$
          i.e.
          $$(a-5)^2+(sqrtb-4-1)^2le 0$$
          from which
          $$a-5=sqrtb-4-1=0$$
          i.e.
          $$a=b=5$$
          follows.



          Now you can get $c$ from $(1)$.

            HINT:



            Write the equality as $$a^2-10a+22+b+|sqrtc-1-2|-2sqrtb-4=0$$ and since we know that $a$ is real, $$22+b+|sqrtc-1-2|-2sqrtb-4le25\b-2sqrtb-4le3-|sqrtc-1-2|le3.$$ But if $f(b)=b-2sqrtb-4$, $f'(b)=1-dfrac1sqrtb-4=0$ for stationary points, resulting in $b=5$ as a minimum, and $f(b)=3$.



            Hence that is the only value for $b$, meaning that $c=cdots,,?$




            Spoiler:




            The triangle is equilateral.

              Note that:
              $$a^2+b+|sqrtc-1-2|=10a+2sqrtb-4-22 iff \
              (a-5)^2+|sqrtc-1-2|+(sqrtb-4-1)^2=0 Rightarrow \
              a=5, b=5, c=5.$$

                $(a-5)^2+(sqrtb-4-1)^2+|sqrt-2|=0$



                This lead $a=b=c=5$.

                  Noodling:



                  $a^2$ and $10a$ in equations imply that maybe I should attempt to complete the square.



                  So I get



                  $a^2 - 10a +25+b +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=(a-5)^2 + b+ |sqrtc-1 -2|= 2sqrtb-4 + 3$



                  And, well this seems a bit weird but that is an even number in front of the $sqrtb-4$ and we have $sqrtb-4$ and $b$ variables to deal with so we can complete the square again with $v = sqrtb-4$ and $v^2 = b-4$.



                  (In the back of my mind I'm worrying about the $sqrtc-1$ which is just a single term; I'm not sure at this point what will happen.)



                  $(a -5)^2 + (b-4) - 2sqrtb-4 + 1 +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=3-4 + 1$



                  $(a-5)^2 + (sqrtb-4 - 1)^2 +|sqrtc-1 - 2| = 0$.



                  Oh......



                  We have three things that can't be negative adding up to $0$. So they must each equal $0$.



                  So $(a-5)^2 = 0$ and $a =5$. And $(sqrtb-4-1)^2=0$ and $b=5$. And $|sqrtc-1 -2| = 0$ so $c=5$.



                  Well.... okay then......

                              HINT:



                              Write the equality as $$a^2-10a+22+b+|sqrtc-1-2|-2sqrtb-4=0$$ and since we know that $a$ is real, $$22+b+|sqrtc-1-2|-2sqrtb-4le25\b-2sqrtb-4le3-|sqrtc-1-2|le3.$$ But if $f(b)=b-2sqrtb-4$, $f'(b)=1-dfrac1sqrtb-4=0$ for stationary points, resulting in $b=5$ as a minimum, and $f(b)=3$.



                              Hence that is the only value for $b$, meaning that $c=cdots,,?$

                                                    Noodling:



                                                    $a^2$ and $10a$ in equations imply that maybe I should attempt to complete the square.



                                                    So I get



                                                    $a^2 - 10a +25+b +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=(a-5)^2 + b+ |sqrtc-1 -2|= 2sqrtb-4 + 3$



                                                    And, well this seems a bit weird but that is an even number in front of the $sqrtb-4$ and we have $sqrtb-4$ and $b$ variables to deal with so we can complete the square again with $v = sqrtb-4$ and $v^2 = b-4$.



                                                    (In the back of my mind I'm worrying about the $sqrtc-1$ which is just a single term; I'm not sure at this point what will happen.)



                                                    $(a -5)^2 + (b-4) - 2sqrtb-4 + 1 +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=3-4 + 1$

                                                    Oh......



                                                    We have three things that can't be negative adding up to $0$. So they must each equal $0$.



                                                    So $(a-5)^2 = 0$ and $a =5$. And $(sqrtb-4-1)^2=0$ and $b=5$. And $|sqrtc-1 -2| = 0$ so $c=5$.



                                                    Well.... okay then......

                                                        Noodling:



                                                        $a^2$ and $10a$ in equations imply that maybe I should attempt to complete the square.



                                                        So I get



                                                        $a^2 - 10a +25+b +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=(a-5)^2 + b+ |sqrtc-1 -2|= 2sqrtb-4 + 3$



                                                        And, well this seems a bit weird but that is an even number in front of the $sqrtb-4$ and we have $sqrtb-4$ and $b$ variables to deal with so we can complete the square again with $v = sqrtb-4$ and $v^2 = b-4$.



                                                        (In the back of my mind I'm worrying about the $sqrtc-1$ which is just a single term; I'm not sure at this point what will happen.)



                                                        $(a -5)^2 + (b-4) - 2sqrtb-4 + 1 +|sqrtc-1 - 2|=3-4 + 1$



                                                        $(a-5)^2 + (sqrtb-4 - 1)^2 +|sqrtc-1 - 2| = 0$.



                                                        Oh......



                                                        We have three things that can't be negative adding up to $0$. So they must each equal $0$.



                                                        So $(a-5)^2 = 0$ and $a =5$. And $(sqrtb-4-1)^2=0$ and $b=5$. And $|sqrtc-1 -2| = 0$ so $c=5$.



                                                        Well.... okay then......
