Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to determine is testing out the numbers with Pythagorian theorem.

If it complies with the theorem, it is a right triangle.

let's assume c = 28, b = 21, and a = 20

the longest side is the hypotenuse so side c (28 in) will be the hypotenuse.

According to the Pythagorian theorem, the square of the length of hypotenuse must equal to the sum of squares of other two sides.

check:

c^2 = 28^2 = 784

a^2 + b^2 = 21^2 + 20^2 = 841

because c^2 is not equal to a^2 + b^2, the triangle is not a right triangle.

I need help i dont understand what's it asking me to do

arlik [135]

You have to prove that 2 angles are conguent to the other triangles angles; example: ∠A≅∠C by the additon POC (2 of those) and then one side; example: AB≅BA by the reflexive POE (1 of those)

I cant see the triangles but thats how you do them, also im learning this right now too, look up the triangle congruence things like ASA ≅ SSS≅ HL≅ exc. a chart will explain how to prove them using that:
