Answer:

Explanation:

32.5²+30²=1056.25+900=1956.25

48.5²=2352.25≠1956.25

so it is not a right angled triangle.

Answer:

No, you can't have a right triangle with the sides 48.5ft, 30ft, 32.5ft.

Explanation:

48.5 + 30 + 32.5 = 111 ft

Triangle's total sides: 180.

One side has to be equal to 90ft.
