Question

A triangle with side lengths 7, 6, 4 is

Acute

Right

Obtuse

Answer 1

Right

so 7 is the hypotenuse because it is the biggest. so you have to use 6 and 4 in the formula to see if they equal 7.

(a)²+(b)²=c²

(6)²+(4)²=c²

36+16=c²

(square root) 52=c²

the square root of 52 is 7

so therefore it is a right triangle.
