✒ Solution :
Let us apply the distance formula to find the distances PQ, QR and PR, where P(3, 2), Q(–2, –3) and R(2, 3) are the given points. We have
PQ = √(3+2)² + (2+3)² = √5²+5² = √50 = 7.0 7(Approx).
QR = √(-2-2)² + (-3-3)² = √(-4)² + (-6)² = √52 = 7.21(Approx).
PR = √(3-2)² + (2-3)² = √1² + (-1)² = √2 = 1.41 (Approx).
Since the sum of any two of these distances is greater than the third distance, therefore, the points P, Q and R form a triangle.
Also, PQ2 + PR2 = QR2, by the converse of Pythagoras theorem, we have.
∠ P = 90°.
Therefore, PQR is a right triangle..
