Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if the three numbers could be the measures of the sides of a right triangle. Assume that the third measure is the hypotenuse. 4,7, (radical sign)65

Answer 1

Pythagorean Therorem:
(leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
Does 7^2 + 4^2 = sqrt(65)?
If yes, then it can fit the sides of a right triangle.

Answer 2

whoops:
Does 7^2 + 4^2 = sqrt(65)^2

Answer 3

pythatogean theorem = \(x^2 + y^2 = z^2\) where you have:
