PLEASE ANSWERS BOO'S!!!!

Answer 1

The answer is a and remember to use the pythagorean theorem to answer these questions. The numbers are usually listed leg, leg, hypotenuse.

Answer 2

Answer:

5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the first set of side lengths.  If these lengths satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem, then we can correctly conclude that they represent a right triangle.  Do the lengths 5, 12 and 13 satisfy the Pyth. Thm.?

In other words, does the sum of 5² and 12² equal 13²?

Does 25 + 144 =equal 169?  YES.  So yes, 5, 12 and 13 do represent a right triangle.

Second case:  4, 4 and 8.  Does 16 + 16 equal 64?  NO.  Not a right triangle.

Third case:  2, 3, 4.  Does 4 + 9 = 16?  NO.  Not a right triangle.

Summary:  only 5, 12, 13 represent the side lengths of a right triangle.
