To show that the points \( A(2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}), B(\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}), C(3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}) \) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle, we can calculate the distances between each pair of points and then check if the Pythagorean theorem holds. ### Step 1: Calculate the distance \( AB \) The distance \( AB \) between points \( A(x_1, y_1, z_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2, z_2) \) is given by the formula: \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2} ...
