Is a triangle with sides of length 6 ft., 21 ft., 23 ft. a right triangle? Explain.

The dimensions on the triangle do not match with the right triangle’s formula,
aU2 + bU2 = cU2 (or pretty close to it). And if it doesn’t then it isn’t a right triangle.

its not

anonymous · Answer

well you can see if it is a right triangle by using the pythagorean theorem.

anonymous · Answer

but what would be the hypotenuse?

anonymous · Answer

the hypotenuse would be the longest side i believe.

anonymous · Answer

check if

23^2 = 21^2 + 6^2
