Question

The side lengths of a triangle are 6, 8, and 12. Is this a right triangle?

Answer 1

D.

It's incorrect, because 6 squared = 36, 8 squared = 64, add them together and you get 100. 12 squared does NOT equal 100, it equals 144.

(To find the hypotenuse {longest side of the triangle}, you square the two short sides, add them together, and finally, divide it by the provided number, and see if the number matches the provided number's square.)

Brainly if correct and Thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

D) No, because 6²+8²≠12²

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for it to be a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the side lengths must be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

In this case, 6^2+8^2=36+64=100. Since 100≠144, this means that option D is correct
