The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the triangle with vertices \( A(1, 3, 5) \), \( B(2, 4, 6) \), and \( C(0, 5, 7) \) is a right triangle, we will first find the vectors representing the sides of the triangle and then check if any two sides are perpendicular using the dot product. ### Step 1: Define the vertices Let: - \( A = (1, 3, 5) \) - \( B = (2, 4, 6) \) - \( C = (0, 5, 7) \) ### Step 2: Find the vectors representing the sides of the triangle We can find the vectors \( \vec{AB} \), \( \vec{BC} \), and \( \vec{AC} \). 1. **Vector \( \vec{AB} \)**: \[ \vec{AB} = B - A = (2 - 1, 4 - 3, 6 - 5) = (1, 1, 1) \] 2. **Vector \( \vec{BC} \)**: \[ \vec{BC} = C - B = (0 - 2, 5 - 4, 7 - 6) = (-2, 1, 1) \] 3. **Vector \( \vec{AC} \)**: \[ \vec{AC} = C - A = (0 - 1, 5 - 3, 7 - 5) = (-1, 2, 2) \] ### Step 3: Check for perpendicularity using the dot product To check if any two vectors are perpendicular, we will calculate the dot product of \( \vec{AB} \) and \( \vec{BC} \). \[ \vec{AB} \cdot \vec{BC} = (1, 1, 1) \cdot (-2, 1, 1) = 1 \cdot (-2) + 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 1 = -2 + 1 + 1 = 0 \] Since the dot product \( \vec{AB} \cdot \vec{BC} = 0 \), the vectors \( \vec{AB} \) and \( \vec{BC} \) are perpendicular. ### Step 4: Conclusion Since we have found that two sides of the triangle are perpendicular, triangle \( ABC \) is a right triangle. ### Statement Evaluation - **Statement 1**: True, as triangle \( ABC \) is a right triangle. - **Statement 2**: True, as the dot product of two non-zero vectors being zero indicates that they are perpendicular. Thus, both statements are true, and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. ### Final Answer Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
