let A, B, C be Point of (TOP-REAL 2); ( B <> C & B <> A & angle (A,B,C) = PI / 2 implies the_foot_of_the_altitude (A,B,C) = B )
assume that
A1:
B <> C
and
A2:
B <> A
and
A3:
angle (A,B,C) = PI / 2
; the_foot_of_the_altitude (A,B,C) = B
|((A - B),(C - B))| = 0
by A1, A2, A3, EUCLID_3:45;
then
|((B - A),(B - C))| = 0
by Th10;
hence
the_foot_of_the_altitude (A,B,C) = B
by A1, Th43; verum
