OpenStudy (gudden):

do not tag many people... at a time....crazy...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry.

OpenStudy (gudden):

And for getting the answer,,,, make sure that if the square of the largest side is equal to the sum of the square of the other two.. then it is a right triangle...:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In D 50 cm is the biggest so... 10 cm + 40 cm = 50 cm. Does that mean its D? @gudden

OpenStudy (gudden):

No...! I said.. square... them out... Do you know how to square something ? It's just multiplying the number with itself... as square of three is ... 3*3 = 9 and that of 4 is 4*4 = 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sop was A right? You never told me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gudden

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you add squere of smaller sides,u r supposed to take root and see if it matches the third side

OpenStudy (gudden):

No... A isn't right... since.. square of 4 .... that is 16 and that of 5..which is 25... when added are not equal to the square of 6 which is 36...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is out. I think D is out... B!!!!! It's B!!! @gudden

OpenStudy (gudden):

Yes it is B...:)

OpenStudy (gudden):

OpenStudy (gudden):
