Question 1195477
Determine if the points A(3,5), B(3,3) and C(2,4) are the vertices of a right triangle. Explain your rationale.
-------------
Find the 3 side lengths
AB: d = 2
-----
BC: d = sqrt(2)
---
AC: d = sqrt(2)
------
AB is the longest
----
Is AB^2 = BC^2 + AC^2 ??
2^2 = 2 + 2
4 = 4
It's a right triangle.
