Question

Which set of side lengths defines a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer 2

when oyu get your data just look at the 3 sides
take the longest - that is the hypotenuse - work out the square of its length
take the other 2 and work out the square of THEIR lengths. Add these 2 together

IF the sum of the 2 smaller squares is EQUAL to the hypotenuse square THEN it is a right angle.

If they are not equal then it is NOT a right angle triangle

Answer 3

A is not the correct answer

@horsegirl325 - you messaged me for the answer - I will not give you the answer - I have already given you BETTER than that - which is the way for YOU to work out the answer.

If I give the answer I give the answer to THIS question. If you have the method then you have the answer to ALL similar questions, and a method you will need for your future maths work too!

Just try the method I described - you just need to square 3 numbers, and then add 2 numbers - it is not hard

Answer 9

@horsegirl325
look at answer A 6,8,11

apply the process I gave you above
take the longest side = 11 , square it = 11*11 =121

take the other 2 sides and square them: 6*6 = 36, 8*8 = 64
now ADD those 2 squares 36 + 64 = 100

This does NOT equal the hypotenuse square (=121) so the triangle is NOT a right angle

Do the same process for the other answers until you find a set where the 2 small squares add up to equal the large square
