The emblem on a College banner consists of the face of a tiger inside the triangle. The lengths of the sides of the triangle or 24 cm, 26 cm, and 28 cm. Is the triangle a right triangle? Explain your answer.
____________________
Pythagoras' theorem holds for right triangles
H^2 = C1^2 + C2^2
if
C1= 24
C2= 26
H= ?
24^2 + 26^2 = 1252
(1252)^(1/2)= 35. 38
24 cm, 26 cm, and 28 cm

Answer
For it to be a right triangle, the largest size that is the hypotenuse, it would have to be approximately 35.38 for a triangle with C1= 24 and C2= 26. Therefore, it is a triangle it is not a right triangle.
