Question

A triangle has sides of lengths 48 mm, 55 mm, and 73 mm. Is it a right triangle?

Answer 1

The given triangle is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle, or 90 degrees. To determine if the given triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, if 48 mm and 55 mm are the lengths of the two shorter sides, and 73 mm is the length of the hypotenuse, we can check if the Pythagorean theorem holds:

48^2 + 55^2 = 73^2

2304 + 3025 = 5329

Based on the calculation, we can see that the equation holds true, which means the given triangle is a right triangle.

Answer 2

Does 48 squared plus 55 squared = 73 squared

2304 + 3025 = 5329

Square root of 5329 is 73 which means that the triangle is a right angled triangle.

Note that this may not be correct as we do not know where each measurement is.

This should be 100 percent correct though
