The triangle with vertices (0, 0, 0), (3, 0, 0) and (0, 4, 0) is:

Answer: Right angled at the origin.

  • A Obtuse angled
  • B Not a valid triangle
  • C Right angled at the origin
  • D Equilateral

Correct answer: C. Right angled at the origin

Explanation: Two sides lie along the perpendicular x and y axes, so the angle at the origin is 90°.
