Whichever placement of the right angle, the hypotenuse will be the segment PQ, and this length is .

Pick the x coordinate 1 and the y coordinate 6 for the right angle point at (1,6) and this should be the point opposite the hypotenuse in quadrant 1.

The point R will have the same x-coordinate as Q (1), and the same y-coordinate as P (6), so we get R as:

Draw the circle with the radius of = = and with the center at the point (-1,5) which is the midpoint of the segment connecting the given points. ALL the points of this circle (except P and Q) are potentially the vertex R of the right angled triangle PQR having PQ as the hypotenuse. All of these points that belong to QI satisfy the condition requirement. All the other answers to this post are INCORRECT.
