cond
(optional) name
The routine tests if the given triangle ABC is a right triangle. It returns true if ABC is a right triangle; false if it is not; and FAIL if it is unable to reach a conclusion.
If FAIL is returned, and the optional argument is given, the condition that makes ABC a right triangle is assigned to this argument. It will be either of the form expr=0 or of the form &or⁡expr_1=0,expr_2=0,...,expr_n where expr, expri_i are Maple expressions.
The command with(geom3d,IsRightTriangle) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
with⁡geom3d:
triangle⁡ABC,point⁡A,0,0,0,point⁡B,2,0,0,point⁡C,0,2,0
IsRightTriangle⁡ABC
