No, he can not do it
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove that the the given three sides can form a right triangle:
- Square the three sides
- Add the squares of the smaller two sides
- If the sum is equal to the square of the largest side, then the three given sides can form a right triangle
- If the sum is not equal to the square of the largest side, then the three given sides can not form a right triangle
∵ The designer has three partitions that are 14 , 9 and 20 feet
- Square the length of each partition
∵ 9² = 81
∵ 14² = 196
∵ 20² = 400
- Add the squares of the two smaller partitions 9 and 14
∵ 81 + 196 = 277
∵ The square of the largest partition = 400
∵ 277 ≠ 400
∴ The sum of the squares of the two smaller partitions is not
equal to the square of the third partition
- To create the apartment in the shape of a right triangle he must
have three partitions the sum of the squares of the two smaller
partitions is equal to the square of the largest partition
∴ He can not create the apartment in the shape of a right triangle
