The sides of a triangle measure 10 feet, 13 feet, and 17 feet.

How would you explain to a friend that the triangle is not a right triangle?

Sagot :

A right triangles hypotenuse is the square root of both of the other side squared. The formula for this is a^2 + b^2= c^2, with c being the longest side. So 10 squared is 100, 13 squared is 169, but. 17 squared is 289. The sum of the other two sides are 269. So it doesn’t equal

Step-by-step explanation:

if the squares of the two shorter sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse, the triangle contains a right angle

bbc

10 squared = 100

13 squared = 169

17 squared = 289

100 + 169 = 269 NOT 289 so

there is no right angle and so its not a right triangle
