# Vertices of a right triangle

Show that the points D(2,1), E(4,0), F(5,7) are vertices of a right triangle.

Result

d =  0

#### Solution:

$x_{1}=2 \ \\ y_{1}=1 \ \\ x_{2}=4 \ \\ y_{2}=0 \ \\ x_{3}=5 \ \\ y_{3}=7 \ \\ \ \\ a=\sqrt{ (x_{1}-x_{2})^2+(y_{1}-y_{2})^2 }=\sqrt{ (2-4)^2+(1-0)^2 } \doteq \sqrt{ 5 } \doteq 2.2361 \ \\ \ \\ b=\sqrt{ (x_{1}-x_{3})^2+(y_{1}-y_{3})^2 }=\sqrt{ (2-5)^2+(1-7)^2 } \doteq 3 \ \sqrt{ 5 } \doteq 6.7082 \ \\ \ \\ c=\sqrt{ (x_{2}-x_{3})^2+(y_{2}-y_{3})^2 }=\sqrt{ (4-5)^2+(0-7)^2 } \doteq 5 \ \sqrt{ 2 } \doteq 7.0711 \ \\ \ \\ c^2=a^2 + b^2 ? \ \\ d=c^2-a^2-b^2=7.0711^2-2.2361^2-6.7082^2=-0=0$
