It is given that  point A(4,4) , B(3,5) and C(-1,-1) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle
Now,
We know that the distance between two points is given by
D = |\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}|
Length of AB  = |\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(4-5)^2}|= |\sqrt{1+1}|= \sqrt2
Length of BC = |\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(5+1)^2}|= |\sqrt{16+36}|= \sqrt{52}
Length of AC = |\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(4+1)^2}|= |\sqrt{25+25}|= \sqrt{50}
Now, we know that  Pythagoras theorem is
H^2= B^2+L^2
Is clear that
(\sqrt{52})^2=(\sqrt{50})^2+(\sqrt 2)^2\\ 52 = 52\\ i.e\\ BC^2= AB^2+AC^2
Hence proved
