Question

Ax has sticks of lengths 6, 7, 8, and 10 inches. He wants to make a right triangle for an art project. Which 3 sticks should he use? 6 in., 7 in., and 8 in. 6 in., 7 in., and 10 in. 6 in., 8 in., and 10 in. 7 in., 8 in., and 10 in.

Answer 1

6in...8in...and...10in

Two sides must use the pythagoras theorem to obtain the hypothenus

square root of 8 squared plus 6 squared so as to obtain a 10...hence making it a right angled triangle
