Question

Create two sets of three triangle lengths: one set that does create a right triangle and another that does not. Show and explain why the first set does create a right triangle and why the second set does not. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

right - angled triangle : lengths 3,4,5
non right-angled: lengths 7,8 , 10

the first set creates a rt angled triangle because 5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 (pythagoras theorem)
in the second triangle 10^2 not = 7^2 + 8^2 so not right-angled

Answer 2

any more help needed?
