\n" ); document.write( "decide whether the points are the vertices of a right triangle. (0,0), (0,3), (4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "

Points (0, 0) and (0, 3), when joined, form a vertical line from the origin - a line that lies on the y-axis
\n" );
document.write( "Points (0, 0) and (4, 0), when joined, form a horizontal line from the origin - a line that lies on the x-axis
\n" );
document.write( "These lines are PERPENDICULAR, and so, form the legs of a right-angled triangle. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
