To show that the vectors \( \mathbf{a} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \), \( \mathbf{b} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \), and \( \mathbf{c} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 4\hat{k} \) form a right-angled triangle, we can use the property that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. ### Step 1: Calculate the vectors \( \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c} \) We start by adding vectors \( \mathbf{b} \) and \( \mathbf{c} \): \[ \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c} = (\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) + (2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 4\hat{k}) ...
