A triangle has side lengths of 33, 56, and 64. It is a right triangle? Explain
yes; 33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
yes; 33^2 + 56^2 ≠ 65^2
no; 33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
no; 33^2 + 56^2 ≠ 65^2

Be careful, Did you actually square those sides and sum them to see if they equaled the hypotenuse squared?
OpenStudy (radar):
\[33^2 + 56^2 =1089 + 3136 = 4225\]

What does 65^2 equal ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4225
OpenStudy (radar):
If 65^2 = 4225, then yes

so why would it be yes
OpenStudy (radar):
because the sum of the squared legs equal the square of the hypotenuse.....
Pythagorean says so for the right triangle. The longest side is the hypotenuse.

so u saying that the answer is A
OpenStudy (radar):
I am saying you should say A is the answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
