Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The ordered points are A1=(0, 0), A2=(7, 0), A3=(8, 0). Do they form a nondegenerate triangle of distinct noncollinear points? Reject repeated or collinear data.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The ordered points are A1=(0, 0), A2=(7, 0), A3=(8, 0). Do they form a nondegenerate triangle of distinct noncollinear points? Reject repeated or collinear data.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

ordered triples in an orthonormal equal-unit frame

After

vertex indices are fixed;allow rotations,translations and reflections

Conditions: none

Correspond equal indices without silently permuting vertices;Euclidean congruence allows reflection.Check nondegeneracy before SSS.

Before

A oriented double area := sub(0, 0)

After

A oriented double area = 0

Conditions: none

Subtract the terms;nonzero means noncollinear and also excludes repeated vertices.

Reverse checks

  • S009 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute A oriented double area with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute A determinant negative term with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute A determinant positive term with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute A vector2 component1 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute A vector2 component0 with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.

No

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
