Find the slopes of the sides of the triangles:
Slope of AB = 9
Slope of BC = 1
Slope of CA = -1
The triangle is a right triangle as BC and CA are perpendicular* to each other, which means that angle ACB = 90.
* If a slope is the negative reciprocal of another slope, they are perpendicular
Slope of AB = 9
Slope of BC = 1
Slope of CA = -1
The triangle is a right triangle as BC and CA are perpendicular* to each other, which means that angle ACB = 90.
* If a slope is the negative reciprocal of another slope, they are perpendicular
OK. At the beginning, we calculate the length of the sides of the triangle.
We will use the formula for the length of the segment
[tex]A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}[/tex]
[tex]A(-2;\ 3);\ B(-3;\ -6)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(-3-(-2))^2+(-6-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-9)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{1+81}=\sqrt{82}\\\\A(-2;\ 3);\ C(2;\ -1)\\|AC|=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(-1-3)^2}=\sqrt{4^2+(-4)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}\\\\B(-3;\ -6);\ C(2;\ -1)\\|BC|=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^2+(-1-(-6))^2}=\sqrt{5^2+5^2}\\\\=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}[/tex]
AB is the longest side.
If the equation
[tex]|AB|^2=|AC|^2+|BC|^2[/tex]
is true, then the triangle is right triangle.
check:
[tex]L_s=(\sqrt{82})^2=82\\\\R_s=(\sqrt{32})^2+(\sqrt{50})^2=32+50=82\\\\L_s=R_s[/tex]
Therefore your answer is:
The triangle ABC is a right triangle and angle ACB is the right angle.
