Which measurements could represent the side lengths of a right triangle?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

16 cm, 30 cm, 34 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer simply by plugging each number into my calculator with the following equation:

\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

When you the lower numbers into the equation, if the lengths really do give you a triangle, then you should get the largest number as your output. This can help you with any of the other questions that you may have to answer.
