A triangle has vertices A(-1,3,4) , B(3,-1,1,) and C(5,1,1). Prove that it is right-angled?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

move them so one of the points hits the origin; which just amounts to subtracting the value of one point from the other two

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A(-1,3,4) , B(3,-1,1,) and C(5,1,1) 1-3-4 1-3-4 1-3-4 -------------------------------- 0,0,0 4,-4,-3 6,-2,-3 if B.C = 0, its a right triangle; otherwise try it again from a different point

OpenStudy (amistre64):

another method is to get all the lengths between each point and pythag it to check
