HELLOOOOOOOO PLZZZZZ HELP IM NOT SMART

A wall 12 feet long makes a corner with a wall that is 14 feet long. The other ends of the walls are about 18.44 feet apart. Do the walls form a right angle?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

If we want to check if the walls form a right angle, we can try to see if the lengths work with the Pythagorean Theorem.

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

Where c is the hypotenuse (longest side) and a and b are the legs (shorter sides)

We can plug in the given lengths into the equation:

`12^2+14^2=c^2`

`144+196=c^2`

`c^2=340`

Take the square root of both sides

`c\approx18.44`

Therefore the walls form a right angle
