Question

Could these side lengths make a right triangle, 12m, 35m and 37m

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem WHICH ONLY WORKS FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES,

a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the two shortest legs.

12^2+35^2=c^2

144+1225=c^2

c^2=1369

c=$\sqrt{1369}$

c=37
