22. Triangle DEF has vertices D(2, -5), E(-1, 3), F(4, 11). Using side lengths, determine whether DEF is a right triangle.
Answer: Not a right triangle Solution to #22
23. A parallelogram has vertices at A (5, -4), B(9, 3) and C(2, 7). Determine all possible coordinates for the fourth vertex.

32. Determine the value for y such that A(-4,6,1), B(6,y,3) and C(2,2,5) are on the same plane as D(1,1,2).
Answer: y = -4 Solution #32
33. The vectors (a, b, 5), (6, -1, 2) and (-2,2,1) are coplanar. State the conditions on a and b for which this is true, and then state three sets of values of a and b for which this is true.
Answer: b = -0.5a + 5, so perhaps a = -10, b = 10 or a = 0, b = 5 or a = 10, b = 0 Solution to #33
