If A= (6,11), B= (1,5), and C= (7,0), show by means of slopes that ABC is a right triangle. Name the hypotenuse.

Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse

Right angled triangle

A right angles triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides and angles with one of its angles to be 90 degrees.

For the given coordinates to be a right angled triangle, one of the line must be perpendicular to the other and for two lines to be perpendicular, the product of its slope must be -1.

Find the slopes of AB, BC and AC

Slope of AB = 5-11/1-6
Slope of AB = -6/-5 = 6/5

Slope of BC = 0-5/7-1
Slope of BC = -5/6

Slope of AC = 0-11/7-6
Slope of AC = -11/1. = -11

Take the product of AB and BC
AB * BC = 6/5 * -5/6
AB * BC = -1

Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse
