Question

Determine whether each of the following triangles is a right-angled triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if this is a right triangle, use the pythagorean theorem and see if a^2 + b^2 is equal to c^2.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

Evaluate the exponents.

144 + 256 = 400

Add them together.

400 = 400

Since a^2 and b^2 add up to equal c^2, this is a right triangle.
