Answer: No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
2,3 I think that’s the answer
Answer:
The answer is D for this question. The one at the very bottom of the picture. The other person who answered on this question is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used. The Pythagorean theorem states that 
where C is the hypotenuse and a and b are legs. In this question, we are given a and C. So, plugin 13 for C and 5 for a and solve for b. Once you rearrange the equation you get, 
. Next, solve what is under the root to get, 
. Finally, square root 144 for the final answer b=12.
