A triangle has sides of lengths 18, 80, and 82. is ii a right triangle? Explain answer choices: a. yes, 18^2+80^2=82^2 b.yes, 18^2+80^2=82^2 c.no, 18^2+80^2=82^2 d.no,18^2+80^2=82^2(pretend that the equal sign is crossed out)
@elementwielder @Abbles @McDonaldsGirl<3 @TheRealMeeeee
are a and b the same?
You need to use the Pythagorean theorem to figure this out. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
18^2 + 80 ^2 = 82^2 Simplify this and check. If it doesn't work out, then the triangle is not a right triangle.
a and b are not the same one has a normal = sign the other should be crossed out
18^2+80^2=82^2 is true
@iambatman
What's the difference between A and B? It's one of those, the one with the regular = sign.
ya i was wondering that earlier
a should be a =with a/ over i b is a regular = sign
The answer is B then.
then b is the answer
should be a = sign with a / over it*
oh ok then thanks @Abbles and @elementwielder
yep :)
welcome
