Problem

Consider the points P(1,1,1)P(1,1,1), Q(1,−1,−1)Q(1,-1,-1) and R(−1,1,−1)R(-1,1,-1) in R3\mathbb R^{3}. (i) Compute the lengths PQ,QRPQ,QR and RPRP. (ii) Hence decide the type of triangle formed by P,QP,Q and RR (equilateral, isosceles or scalene). (iii) Determine the exact perimeter of △PQR\triangle PQR.
