Question

Is 5 m, 20 m, 25 m a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check this using the Pythagorean Theorem, $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$.

First, we can plug our two smaller sides in for a and b, and the largest side in for c.,

$5^{2} + 20^{2} = 25^{2}$

Next, we can check the left side of the equation, which we find to be:

$5^{2} = 25\\20^{2} = 400$

Then, we can add these products and achieve the result of 425

Finally, we can solve the right side of the equation, which equals 625

As 425 ≠ 625, this equation fails the Pythagorean Theorem, and is therefor false.
