Question

Determine if the following triangle is a right triangle or not using the Pythagorean Theorem Converse. Triangle with side lengths of: 10 m, 8 m, and 14 m

False, these measures do not form a right triangle.
True, these measures do form a right triangle.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ {10}^(2) + {8}^(2) = {14}^(2) \\ 100 + 64 = 196 \\ 164 < 196`

These measures do not form a right triangle, but an obtuse triangle.
