Which of the following triangles are right triangles? Check all that apply A triangle with side lengths 5, 12, 13 A triangle with side lengths 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches A triangle with side lengths 8, 15, 17 A triangle with side lengths 9, 12, 15
do you know?
are you sure this is the answers below the question because i got different answers?
yes
because this is what i got A. A triangle with side lengths 4, 5, 6 B. A triangle with side lengths 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches but its not on yours
oohh hmm i see. I honestly don't know.. but thanks..
ok
use pythagoras theorem to find out. if the sum of square of the smaller length are same as the square of the larger length then they form a right angle triangle. Like in option A the lengths given will form a right angle triangle 5^2+12^2=13^2 25+144 = 169 169 =169 ..... hope u understood!!
so except second combination of lengths all the others form a right angle triangle
