Question

Answer 1

@wolf1728 @turingtest help

Answer 2

Okay I made the graphic
It seems this would be a right triangle is point X were located at (2,1)

Answer 3

so it is a right triangle because of where the X point is at ?

Answer 4

No I made a typo - the word should be IF and NOT is.
Anyway, if point x were at coordinates (2,1) then angle Z would be a right angle

Answer 5

Here is the graphic redrawn with red lines to show how it would be a right triangle.

Answer 6

okok i think i get it now your basically sayin with the coordinates for x were to be (2,1) than it would be a right triangle but since its not at those coordinates than its not a right triangle
