The correct Answer is:
To find the value(s) of \( \lambda \) for which the triangle with vertices \( A(6, 10, 10) \), \( B(1, 0, -5) \), and \( C(6, -10, \lambda) \) is a right-angled triangle, we will use the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states 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-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the distance \( AB \)**: \[ AB = \sqrt{(6 - 1)^2 + (10 - 0)^2 + (10 - (-5))^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{5^2 + 10^2 + 15^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{25 + 100 + 225} = \sqrt{350} \] 2. **Calculate the distance \( BC \)**: \[ BC = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^2 + (0 - (-10))^2 + (-5 - \lambda)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (10)^2 + (-5 - \lambda)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{25 + 100 + (\lambda + 5)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{125 + (\lambda + 5)^2} \] 3. **Calculate the distance \( AC \)**: \[ AC = \sqrt{(6 - 6)^2 + (10 - (-10))^2 + (10 - \lambda)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{0 + 20^2 + (10 - \lambda)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{400 + (10 - \lambda)^2} \] 4. **Apply the Pythagorean theorem**: We can assume \( AC \) is the hypotenuse. Therefore, we have: \[ AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2 \] Substituting the distances we calculated: \[ 350 + (125 + (\lambda + 5)^2) = 400 + (10 - \lambda)^2 \] 5. **Expand and simplify**: \[ 350 + 125 + (\lambda^2 + 10\lambda + 25) = 400 + (100 - 20\lambda + \lambda^2) \] \[ 475 + \lambda^2 + 10\lambda + 25 = 500 - 20\lambda + \lambda^2 \] The \( \lambda^2 \) terms cancel out: \[ 475 + 10\lambda + 25 = 500 - 20\lambda \] \[ 500 + 10\lambda = 500 - 20\lambda \] \[ 10\lambda + 20\lambda = 0 \] \[ 30\lambda = 0 \] \[ \lambda = 0 \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( \lambda \) for which the triangle is a right-angled triangle is \( \lambda = 0 \).
