"If we think about $P$ and $Q$ as vectors instead of points, we can solve this problem with [dot products](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product). Since the dot product of orthogonal vectors is 0, we can check for a right angle in the triangle by seeing if $\\vec{P} \\cdot \\vec{Q} = 0$, $\\vec{P} \\cdot (\\vec{Q} - \\vec{P}) = 0$, or $\\vec{Q} \\cdot (\\vec{Q} - \\vec{P}) = 0$. By distributing in the last two equations, we can simply check if $\\vec{P} \\cdot \\vec{Q}$ equals 0, $\\vec{P} \\cdot \\vec{P}$, or $\\vec{Q} \\cdot \\vec{Q}$."
