Question

mrs.Ibarra wants to create a right trianglw for a geometry test. She plans to use 15, 36, and 41 as side lengths. Which statements should she consider to determine whether it will be a right triangle?

Answer 1

A C D and E

Explanation:

I just took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

If it is a right triangle, it must fit the pythagorean theorem:

a²+b²=c²

We can plug in the sides to see if it works. Remember, that c is the hypotenuse and must be the longest side:

15²+36²=41²
225+1296=1681
1521≠1681

Therefore, these sides cannot make up a right triangle.
