Question

Does this form a right triangle 8,10,6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step by step answer.

Yes

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 6^2 = 10^2

64 + 36 = 100

100 = 100

The Pythagorean Theorem works. C is always assumed to be the hypotenuse because it is the longest line It's position does not matter. If you did the problem like this

6^2 + 10^2 = 8^2

Of course this would not work, but it would also disobey the convention that c is the longest side.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it does. We can check by using the Pythagorean theorem (P.t.).

P.t.: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 6, b = 8, c = 10

6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100
