Question

A triangle has sides of legths 4, 3, and 5. Is it a right triangle? Explain.

Answer 1

verify by using pythagorean theorem ;)

Answer 2

\[3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2?\]

Answer 3

Try it with the pythagorean theorem:

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = c^2 }\)
c is the longest side.

Answer 4

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 }\)
Check the equality

Answer 5

yeah cuz a^2+b^2=c^2
where a,b<c

Answer 6

I think it is, they answers given are yes; 4^2 + 3^2 =5
yes, 4^2+3^2 then an equal sign with a line through it. and no with the same date.

Answer 7

same date?

Answer 8

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 }\)

Answer 9

^ it's not 3^2 + 4^2 = 5

Answer 10

Same data*

Answer 11

what is 3^2 + 4^2?

Answer 12

Oh you mean this sign? - \(\ne\)

Answer 13

yes that sign

Answer 14

First check if \(3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2\)

Answer 15

@RandiHobbs what is 3^2 + 4^2?

Answer 16

Ummm..7^2?..i dunno =[

Answer 17

no...

what is 3^2?

Answer 18

9?

Answer 19

Yep.. now what's 4^2

Answer 20

right!

what is 4^2?

Answer 21

16

Answer 22

what is 9 + 16?

Answer 23

yes.. so what's 3^2 + 4^2 supposed to be

Answer 24

25

Answer 25

right

Answer 26

now what is 5^2

Answer 27

yes... now 5^2 = ..?

Answer 28

25

Answer 29

are tehy equal?

Answer 30

yes, now is 25 = 25?

Answer 31

tehy? the word does not exist

Answer 32

:P

Answer 33

lol @ParthKohli how are we saying same things :p

Answer 34

they*

Answer 35

lol

Answer 36

well, i'm not that stupid, so yes, 25=25

Answer 37

then it's a right triangle ^_^

Answer 38

lol, if they are equal, then they can be the sides of a right triangle :F

Answer 39

since they are equal

Answer 40

do you get it @RandiHobbs ?

Answer 41

Then what does the line with the equal sign in it indicate?

Answer 42

\(\ne\) means not equal

Answer 43

Well, then would a triangle with the side lengths of 6, 8, and 9 be a right triangle?

Answer 44

check..

\[6^2 + 8^2 = 9^2?\]

Answer 45

Try it. \(6^2 + 8^2 = 9^2 ?\)

Answer 46

lol @lgbasallote

Answer 47

stop copying me >.< :p

Answer 48

Well 6x6= 36 and 8x8=64 and 9x9= 81

Answer 49

and 36+64 =100

Answer 50

then 100 \(\ne\) 81

Answer 51

Yep

Answer 52

since they're not equal..it's not a right triangle

Answer 53

SO they can't be the sides of a right triangle.

Answer 54

ugh seriously?!! :PPP

Answer 55

or, you can make the hypotenuse as 10 to get a a right triangle :D

Answer 56

so it would be obtuse?

Answer 57

6,8,10 is a pythagorean triplet cuz 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

Answer 58

Yeah

Answer 59

noo.. it'd be acute

Answer 60

6,8,10 isnt a pythagorean triple...3,4,5 is the pythagorean triple :p lol

Answer 61

>.<!!!!! you are frying my brain

Answer 62

100 is the side that will make it right

81 < 100

therefore since it is smaller than right...it is acute

Answer 63

100 is the side that will make it a right triangle *

Answer 64

do you get that logic?

Answer 65

Obtuse ====> a^2 + b^2 < c^2
Right ====> a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Acute ====> a^2 + b^2 > c^2

Answer 66

but in the right triangle, there is a restriction to c.

Answer 67

can you tell me what that restriction is :)

Answer 68

No, ma'am i cannot. =[

Answer 69

ma'am? who's ma'am?

Answer 70

well do you at least get the logic i presented @RandiHobbs ?

Answer 71

@myininaya lol they think that the drawing's of a girl >.< :P

Answer 72

I dunno,sir, ma'am. Whichever you prefer. ;D

Answer 73

lol

Answer 74

he's good with either ;)

Answer 75

'c' in a right triangle is supposed to be the longest side.

Answer 76

@lgbasallote lol you.. I'll kill you one day

Answer 77

lol even i was wondering what that rstriction was...it was that all along :p

Answer 78

lol the asker isn't even viewing the question >.<

Answer 79

hmm

Answer 80

mmh

Answer 81

well even i always go away from my questions...i mean my serious questions

Answer 82

Alright, new question, my lovely mathmeticians
.

Answer 83

ABC is a right triangle. If AC=4 and BC=10, find AB. leave your answer in simplest radical form. (please explain how to leave your answer in simplest radical form?)

Answer 84

@lgbasallote @Preetha

Answer 85

could you post this in a new question? this thread is getting laggy
