Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of 10 millimeters, 17 millimeters, and 18 millimeters. Is it a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

no, it is not

if it were a right triangle, 10² + 17² = 18²

but this is not the case

Step-by-step explanation:

we would use Pythagoras theorem to determine if it is a right angle

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

10² + 17² =

100 + 289 = 389

square root of 389 is 19.72 and not 18. thus, it is not a right triangle
