Solution

Let A = (0, 7, 10), B = (-1, 6, 6) and C = (-4, 9, 6)

AB = $\sqrt{(0 + 1)^{2} + (7 - 6)^{2} + (10 - 6)^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{(1)^{2} + (1)^{2} + (4)^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{18}$ $= 3 \sqrt{2}$

$A C = \sqrt{(0 + 4)^{2} + (7 - 9)^{2} + (10 - 6)^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{(4)^{2} + (- 2)^{2} + (4)^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{36}$ $(A B)^{2} + (B C)^{2} = A C^{2}$

$\Rightarrow ∠ A B C = 90^{\circ}$ and AB = BC

Hence, (0, 7, 10), (-1, 6, 6) and (-4, 9, 6) are the vertices of an

isosceles right - angled triangle.
