Let a cube ABCDEFGH with edge length 1. In the coordinate system $(A;\,\overrightarrow{AB},\,\overrightarrow{AD},\,\overrightarrow{AE})$, we consider the points $M$, $N$ and $P$ with respective coordinates $\mathrm{M}\!\left(1\,;\,1\,;\,\tfrac{3}{4}\right)$, $\mathrm{N}\!\left(0\,;\,\tfrac{1}{2}\,;\,1\right)$, $\mathrm{P}\!\left(1\,;\,0\,;\,-\tfrac{5}{4}\right)$.
Plot $\mathrm{M}$, $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{P}$ on the figure provided in the appendix.
Determine the coordinates of the vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{MN}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{MP}}$. Deduce that the points $\mathrm{M}$, $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{P}$ are not collinear.
We consider algorithm 1 given in the appendix. a. Execute this algorithm by hand with the coordinates of the points $\mathrm{M}$, $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{P}$ given above. b. What does the result displayed by the algorithm correspond to? What can we deduce about triangle MNP?
We consider algorithm 2 given in the appendix. Complete it so that it tests and displays whether a triangle MNP is right-angled and isosceles at M.
