Question 903366: On scrap paper, determine if the triangle with the following vertices is a right triangle.
A(-3, 5), B(1, 4), and C(-1, 0).
In the box below, tell whether or not the triangle is a right triangle. Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Two methods come to mind.
See if any of the lines formed are perpendicular which would indicate a right angle.
See if the lengths of the sides add up using the Pythagoras a^2+b^2=c^2
