Question

Hye Sun has a modern coffee table whose top is a triangle with the following side legngths: 8 feet , 3 feet, and 5 feet. Is Hye Sun's coffee table top a tight triangle?

Answer 1

8 feet is the longest side so it would be the hypotenuse. Use the Pythagorean formula to check.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2+5^2 = 8^2
9 + 25 = 64
34 = 64
This is obviously not true si it is not a right triangle.
