Question

Which set of line segments with the given lengths can be formed into a right triangle?

24, 30, 35

12, 18, 30

18, 24, 30

18,24, 35

Answer 1

a common right side triangle has a side of 3, a side of 4 and a side of 5 units of length.

If any of those options can divide in such a way that one side an be divided by 3, another by 4 and yet another by 5 than that's the one.

Answer 2

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks

Answer 3

that's because 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 (9+16=25)

Answer 4

Okee dokee

Answer 5

I will keep that on mind from now on, cause i did not know that until now, lol.

Answer 6

they must also result in the same number when you divide off course otherwise the scale is off

Answer 7

okay, thanks very much!

Answer 8

note that 3, 4, 5 is not the only option for a right triangle what about 5, 12, 13?

Answer 9

for a triangle with lengths a,b,c if it is a right triangle
the hypotenuse, c is always the longest side and opposite the right angle and
the sum of the square of the legs = square of the hypotenuse
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
