<span>We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal (hypotenuse) length of the gate. This theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the leg lengths and c is the hypotenuse length. In this case, 80^2 + 60^2 = 6400 + 3600 = 10,000 = c^2. Taking the square root, we see that the length of the brace is 100 inches (thus making the gate a standard 3-4-5 right triangle).</span>

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

11 times 11 is 121

5 times 5 is 25

13 times 13 is 169

121+25 doesnt equal 169

this means it is not a right angled triangle as it does not follow pythag
