Question

WXY is a right triangle.

A. True.
B. False.

Answer 1

Answer: FALSE

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. False

Explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).

So
`(√(34) )^(2)` should equal
`(√(18) )^(2)+(√(18) )^(2)`

• We also know that
  `(√(a) )^(2)=(√(a))(√(a))=a`

Hence,
`(√(18) )^(2)+(√(18) )^(2)=18+18=36` , and

`(√(34) )^(2)=34`

They ARE NOT EQUAL, so the triangle is NOT a right triangle.
