Question

Is 33,44,55 a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that right triangles follow the Pythagorean Theorem, where

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

So we will put our side lengths into this formula, keeping in mind that c = the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. a and b are fairly arbitrary.

$33^{2} + 44^{2} = 55^{2}$

If this works, we know it's a right triangle.

1089 + 1936 = 3025

3025 = 3025

It worked! It's a right triangle!!

Answer 2

Yes, a triangle who's sides are 33 cm, 44 cm, and 55 cm is a 3–4–5 right triangle.
