Consider the points P (3, 1, 0) and Q(1, 4, 4).(a) Sketch the triangle with vertices

Chapter 11, Problem 6

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the points \(\mathrm{P}(3,1,0) \text { and } \mathrm{Q}(1,4,4)\).

(a) Sketch the triangle with vertices \(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}, \text { and }(1,4,0)\). Without computing distances, explain why this triangle is a right triangle, and then apply the Theorem of Pythagoras twice to find the distance from P to Q.

(b) Repeat part (a) using the points \(P, Q, \text { and }(3,4,0)\).

(c) Repeat part (a) using the points \(P, Q, \text { and }(1,1,4)\).
