A triangle has side lengths of 24 in., 32 in., and 40 in. Is the triangle acute, obtuse, or right? A) right. B) obtuse. C) acute

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is: [A]: "right [triangle]" .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Given: Side lengths:
________________________________________________
" <span>24 in., 32 in., and 40 in " ;
________________________________________________
Divide each side length by "8" ;
</span><span>
24 in. / 8 = 3 in. ;

32 in. / 8 = 4 in. ; and

40 in. / 8 = 5 in. .
_________________________________________________
3 in . , 4, in, 5 in. ; is a "right triangle" ;

since: 3</span>² + 4² = 5² ;

→ 9 + 16 = 25 ;

according to the Pythagorean theorem: " a² + b² = c² " .

C. The measure of ∠6 = 90.5°; False.

D. ∠2 and ∠3; True.

<h3>What are the properties of angles of parallel lines?</h3>

On a common plane, two parallel lines do not intersect.
As a result, the characteristics of parallel lines with respect to transversals are given below.
