Question 1196697: : Show that the points, A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(4, 0) are the vertices of a right triangle.

A and B have the same x coordinate, so side AB is vertical.
A and C have the same y coordinate, so side AC is horizontal.

So sides AB and AC are perpendicular to each other, making angle A a right angle.
