The three points $A(2, 4, 3)$, $B(4, a, 9)$ and $C(10, -1, 7)$ form a right-angled triangle with $\angle B = 90^\circ$, then the value of 'a' is
Show Hint
For right-angled triangle problems with coordinates, setting the dot product of the perpendicular side vectors to zero is always the fastest and most direct method. Avoid using the full distance formula unless necessary.
