Question

Is a triangle with sides that measure 5cm, 7cm, and 10cm, a right triangle?

Enter Yes or No in the box below.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Here the given measurements are 5,7,10

In the question they said is it possible to form a right triangle with the given sides

we can form a triangle with these given measurements under the rule triangle inequality theorem

But a right triangle cannot be formed

The reason is because,

a²+b²=c²

5²+7²=10²

25+49 = 100

74 ≠ 100

Hence, a right triangle cannot be formed using the given measurements
