Question

which of the following could be side lenths of a right triangle? A.) 0.9cm, 1.2cm, 1.5cm B.) 0.9cm, 1.5 cm, 1.5cm C.) 0.9 cm, 1.2cm, 1.8cm D.) 0.9cm, 0.6cm, 1.5cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

B: You need a side that is longer than 2 equal sides. B is incorrect.

A: Try

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2 if that works, A will work.

81 + 144 = 225

This works. I used these numbers because they were easier to see.

0.9^2 + 1.2^2 = 1.5^2

0.81 + 1.44 = 2.25

2.25 = 2.25

That is the answer A

But we have to check the  other two.

C:

0.9^2 = 0.81

1.2^2 = 1.44

1.8^2 = 3.24   This won't work. 3.24 is just too big.

D:

0.9^2 = 0.81

0.6^2 = 0.36

1.5^2 = 2.25   It's too far away.
