Question

Determine whether a triangle with given side lengths will be a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorrem.  Find the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides and determine whether this sum equals the square of the longest side:

#19:  5^2 + 12^2 = ? = 13^2

 25  +  144  = ? = 169    This is true, so you do have a right triange in #19.

#21:  2^2 + 4^2 = ? = 7^2, or 4 + 16 = ? = 49     This is false.  Not a right

                                                                            triangle.

Apply this same approach (Pythagorean Theorem) to the remaining problems.
