Question

This set of numbers are measurements of a right triangle 18,15,4

Answer 1

It is not a Right Angled Triangle.

Explanation:

A right angled triangle is a triangle whose sides satisfy the following equality.

Lets say A triangle has sides a, b and c. Where c is the longest side.

Then,
`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)`

Lets substitute the values to the above equation to see whether the triangle we are given satisfies the above equality,

`4^(2) +15^(2)` =
`16+225`=
`241`

`18^(2) =324`

Therefore,
`4^(2) +15^(2)` ≠[tex]18^{2}

So it is not a Right Angled Triangle.
