[algogeeks] Re: Testing if 3 points form a triangle

2007-06-04 Thread Feng

Hi BiGYaN, triangle is a 2D object which can be formed by any 3 non-
collinear points. It can exist in 4D, just like a point existing in
3D.

 Feng, how can form a triangle in four dimensions???

 2007/5/29, BiGYaN [EMAIL PROTECTED]:





  Just test whether they are collinear or not  i.e. get the slopes,

  m1 from 1st and 2nd point
  m2 from 2nd and 3rd point

  if m1==m2 then they do not form a triangle
  else they do

  Computing the area of the triangle and testing for 0 might also
  work  but I feel that the computation will be bigger

[algogeeks] Re: Testing if 3 points form a triangle

2007-06-04 Thread nima aghdaie
use the cross product to examine whether they're collinear.
points A,B,C:
AB*BC =? 0

 Hi all!

 Given 3 points in 3D, what is the fast and numerically stable way to
 test if they form a triangle?

 I am thinking computing the determinant of the square matrix formed by
 the 3 points and testing if the determinant is nonzero. But I am not
 sure.

 What about the case for high dimensions, i.e. 4D, 5D ...

 Thanks!
