Find the distance d between the points (1, 3) and (5, 6).
d = (5 1) + ( 6 3) 22
d = (4) + (3) 22
d = 16 + 9
d = 25d = 5

Consider the three points A = (2, 1), B = (2, 3), and C = (3, 1).
c) Verify that the triangle is a right triangle.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to check.
Therefore, ABC is a right triangle.
