Solution

Here, A(3, 6, 9), B(10, 20, 30) and C(25, -41, 5) are vertices of

ABC

AB=(103)2+(206)2+(309)2

=(7)2+(14)2+(21)2

=49+196+441

=686=714

BC=(2510)2+(4120)2+(530)2

=(15)2+(61)2+(25)2

=225+3721+625

=4571

CA=(325)2+(641)2+(95)2

=(22)2+(47)2+(4)2

=484+2209+16

=2709=3301

AB2+BC2=(714)2+(4571)2

686 + 4571 = 5257

CA2 = 2709

AB2+BC2 CA2

ABC is right angled at B if CA2=AB2+BC2+BC2 but CA2AB2+BC2

Hence, the points are not vertices of a right-angled triangle.
