Question

Does 5 mm , 12 mm , and 17 mm form a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

The measurements do not form right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given lengths are 5 mm, 12 mm and 17mm

The longer leg forms the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(5)^2+(12)^2=(17)^2\\25+144=289\\169\neq 289$

Therefore,

The measurements do not form right angled triangle.
