If a triangle has side lengths 7, 10, and 12, is it a right triangle??

Answer:

No. Remember, a right angle must have a 90 degree angle. We can find the lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length 7, 10, and 12, we can assume that 12 is the hypotenuse (it is the longest length).

- we can use 7 and 10 interchangeably.

Fill in the equation, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

                 where c = 12, and a or b = 7 or 10.

To indicate if the given lengths would form a right angle, we can only input 7 or 10, not both.

Therefore, 7^2 + b^2 = 12^2 or 10^2 + b^2 = 12^2

7^2 + b^2 = 12^2 ==> 49 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b= </u>\sqrt{95<u> ==> </u><u>9.746</u>

b= 9.7, not 10.

10^2 + b^2 = 12^2 ==> 100 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b = </u>\sqrt{44<u> ==> </u><u>6.633 </u>

b= 6.6, not 7.

Therefore, the lengths 7, 10, and 12, does NOT make a right triangle.

Hope this helps!

LMNO~QRST find the value of x.
adelina 88 [10]
Since both trapezoids are similar, so LMNO is a scaled version of QRST by some magnitude
so we can easily use the concept of ratios to find x
in other words: x÷2=6÷5
so x=6×2÷5=12/5=2.4
x=2.4
