Question

Determine whether the set can be sides of a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem: 14, 28, 50

Answer 1

Answer:

No, this isn't a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the hypotenuse is the longest side (in this case that is 50), so that's what we're working for.

The formula for the Pythagorean theorem is :

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

14 squared equals 196, and 28 squared equals 784. Add these and you get 980. The square root of 980 is not 50, so we know that this is not a right tryangle.
