Could the following side lengths make a right triangle?

28, 53, 45


Sagot :

Answer:

no. the triangle would be acute

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a^2 +b^2=c^2[/tex] ← formula for right triangle

[tex]28^2+53^2=45^2[/tex]?

[tex]28^2=784\\53^2=2809\\45^2=2025[/tex]

[tex]784+2809=3,593[/tex]

[tex]3,593 > 2025\\a^2 +b^2 > c^2[/tex]

which means the triangle is acute, not right.
