Question

Which of the following are measurements of the sides of a right triangle?
a. 3, 4, 5
b. 28, 26, 12
c. 17, 14, 6
d. all of the above

Answer 1

if i remember, the 2 smaller #'s should be greater than (idk if equal too)
the larger number

Answer 2

so d.

Answer 3

for a right triangle you'll use pythagorean theorem
\[c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \]
plug in to 'a' and 'b' the shorter sides since 'c' is the hypotenuse which is the longest side. if it gives the value of c then it is a right triangle

Answer 4

let's check for choice a:
\[c = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}\]
what's the value of c?

Answer 5

5

Answer 6

then it's a right triangle.
let's check choice b
\[c = \sqrt{12^2 + 26^2}\]

Answer 7

28.6356......

Answer 8

does it correspond to the third side?

Answer 9

i don't think so unless u round it down, but im not sure

Answer 10

no? then it's not a right triangle.
let's have choice c
\[c = \sqrt{6^2 + 14^2}\]

Answer 11

15.2315...

Answer 12

so what do you think is the answer to that question above?

Answer 13

A

Answer 14
