If P (0, 1, 2), Q(4, -2, 1) and O(0, 0, 0) are three points, then ∠POQ =
Given: Points are P(0, 1, 2), Q(4, -2, 1) and O(0, 0, 0)
To check: the value of ∠POQ
Formula used:
Distance between any two points (a, b, c) and (m, n, o) is given by,
Therefore,
Distance between P(0, 1, 2) and Q(4, -2, 1) is PQ,
Distance between Q(4, -2, 1) and O(0, 0, 0) is QO,
Distance between P(0, 1, 2) and O(0, 0, 0) is PO,
Now,
PO2 = 5
QO2 = 21
PQ2 = 26
Clearly,
PO2 + QO2 = PQ2
A right-angled triangle is a triangle which satisfies Pythagoras Theorem
These points satisfy Pythagoras Theorem
