Answer:
The lengths do form a triangle and it is a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part I:</u>
To find out if 3 segment lengths form a triangle, you must verify that the sum of the two SMALLER sides (6+8) is GREATER than the longest side (10). That is true for this case. We have a triangle
<u>Part II</u>:
To find out the type of triangle, we must incorporate the Pythagorean theorem:
- If
then it is a right triangle.
- Substitute the values. (c=10, b=8, 6=a)
