The triangle with side lengths 10", 24", and 26" is a right angle triangle
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Sides of a triangle:
a = 10 in
b = 24 in
c = 26 in
To prove: right angle triangle
Using pythagoras theorm:
(c)² = (a)² + (b)²
(26)² = (10)² + (24)²
676 = 100 + 576
676 = 676
Right hand side is equal to left hand side.
Thus, the triangle with side lengths 10", 24", and 26" is a right angle triangle
Mathematical models are helpful. Advantages include helping you see the data clearer and helping you visualize. Disadvantages are: time consuming, and if you make a mistake on the graph, its going to hit the entre thing.
