Answer 1

@MayMay_69 What is the slope formula referring to?

Answer 2

@MayMay_69 I'm still not understanding the question. Are we trying to prove that a triangle constructed through 3 points on the coordinate plane is in fact a right triangle?

Answer 3

Do you understand why using the slope formula will help to prove that a triangle is a right triangle?

Answer 4

Ok so that would be one method to prove a triangle is a right triangle right?

Answer 5

Now do you know what the Converse of the Pythagorean theorem is?

Answer 6

you mean \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

Answer 7

@MayMay_69 do you know what the slope formula is and @Paynesdad is right you can use the pythagorean theorem he is right

Answer 8

Actually it says that If a triangle is a right triangle then the lengths of its sides satisfy the equation, \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\] where a and be are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

Answer 9

Well the converse would be if the lengths of the sides of a triangle satisfy the equation \[a^2 +b^2 = c^2\] then it is a right triangle. So if the sides meet this requirement it is a right triangle if not then it's not.

Answer 10

well she says its a right triangle and thanks that is an equation that will satisfy the triangle but can it work on another triangle that aint a right triangle?

Answer 11

But the question asks if there is another way to show that it is a right triangle ... that is another way!

Answer 12

Pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles it's actually a biconditional statement

Answer 13

aint no need to yell buddy i understand your right and you just gave her another way like she asked and thank you for answering my question

Answer 14

not meaning to yell ... sorry if that came of as curt...it was not intended...multitasking :-)
