To show that the vectors \( \mathbf{A} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \), \( \mathbf{B} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k} \), and \( \mathbf{C} = 3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} - 4\hat{k} \) form the vertices of a right-angled triangle, we will calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle formed by these vectors and then check if the Pythagorean theorem holds. ### Step 1: Identify the vertices Let: - Point A correspond to vector \( \mathbf{A} = (2, -1, 1) \) - Point B correspond to vector \( \mathbf{B} = (1, -3, -5) \) - Point C correspond to vector \( \mathbf{C} = (3, -4, -4) \) ...
