Question

PLEASE HELP! TEST TOMORROW!
tell whether the triangle is right, obtuse, or acute
5n, 12n, 13n where n >0

Answer 1

Does this follow the Pythagorean Theorem?

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

im in geometry but yeah its the pythagorean theorem

Answer 4

@ParthKohli

Answer 5

what kinds of triangles follow the pythagorean theorem?

Answer 6

right, obtuse, and acute

Answer 7

hmm, not quite.

Answer 8

yes. its a^2+b^2=c^2 and its asking to tell if the triangle is right, obtuse, or acute

Answer 9

@mathmale please help!!

Answer 10

only a special kind of triangles follow the pythagorean theorem.

Answer 11

ok well how do you do the problem then

Answer 12

5n^2+12n^2=13n^2 doesnt give the right answer

Answer 13

@ParthKohli @mathmale

Answer 14

@ParthKohli can you please tell me how to do this

Answer 15

that's not 5n^2 + 12n^2 = 13n^2.

that's (5n)^2 + (12n)^2 = (13n)^2

Answer 16

got it thanks

Answer 17

you'll see that both sides are the same. so the pythagorean theorem is followed.

pythagorean theorem is true for right triangles only.

Answer 18

yeah this one is right thanks
