Question

Is 7, 20, 25 a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

To answer if they are right triangles or not use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the legs.

a)    25² = 20² + 7²

      625 = 400 + 49

     625 ≠ 449              It is not a right triangle

b)   26² = 24² + 10²

      676 = 576 + 100

      676 = 676               it is a right triangle

c)   13² = 8² + (√10)²

     169 = 64 + 10

      169 ≠ 74                 it is not a right triangle

d)   52² = 48² + 20²

      2704 = 2304 + 400

      2704 = 2704               it is a right triangle
