Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let x =  the angle of elevation.

A triangle has side lengths of 7 in., 9 in., and 11 in. Determine whether this is a right triangle and why.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Not a right triangle.  See below for my reasoning.


Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides will equal the square of the longest side:  7^2 + 9^2 = 11^2 => 49 + 81 = 121   But this is false.

Answer:

38 degrees

this is an isosceles triangle, meaning that the base angles are congruent.

evaluate:

x=180-142

x=38 degrees

Hope this helps :)
