What shape is this? Triangle or no shape?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shape

OpenStudy (gorv):

check it out A is mid point of BC

OpenStudy (gorv):

so A B C are the point which exist on one line ....so it is a straight line

40) Given A(-8,4,-2),B(-6,3,5),C(-10,5,-9) (AB) ⃗=((-6)-(-8)),(3-4),(5)-(-2)=(2,-1,7) |(AB) ⃗ |= √(2^2+1^2+7^2 )=√54=∛6 (AC) ⃗=(-10)-(-8),(5-4),(-9)-(-2)=(-2,1,-7) |(AC) ⃗ |=√(〖-2〗^2+1^2+〖-7〗^2 )=√54= ∛6 (BC) ⃗=(-10)-(-6),(5-3),( -9-5)=(-4,2,-14) |(BC) ⃗ |=〖(-4)〗^2+〖(2)〗^2+〖(-14)〗^2=√(16+4+196)=√216=6√6 |(BC) ⃗ |^2=|(AB) ⃗ |^2+|(AC) ⃗ |^2 (6√6)^2=(∛6)^2+〖(∛6)〗^2 216=54+54 216=108

is what i get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure if its right or not..

OpenStudy (gorv):

u can see sum of two sides is less than the remaining so it is not a triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's a straight line?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes its just a line cuz BA + AC = BC

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

@cutepochacco You "bumped" the question. Are you still not satisfied with the answers ??

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

Attached is a 3D graph of your vectors. Notice also that $$ B + (C - B)t=<-6+4t,3-2t,5+14t>=<-8,4,-2>\\ \implies -6+4t=-8\\ 4t=-8+6=-2\\ t=-1/2\\ 3-2(-1/2)=3+1=4\\ 5+14(-1/2)=5-7=-2 $$ Which shows that A=<-8,4,-2> is on a line from B to C.

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

That's cool. @ybarrap Which software/website did you use for the diagram ??

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

I used GeoGebra - http://www.geogebra.org/cms/en/

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

There is a downloadable and an online version. Here is what the interface looks like:

It's free.
