Question

These triangles are not drawn to scale. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine which triangle is a right triangle. Question 4 options:

A: 7.9, 3.4, 4.7
B: 19.4, 14.4, 13
C: 15.5, 12.5, 4.5
D: 1.5, 0.3, 1.4

Answer 1

it's probably D lol BUTTTT I have no idea

Answer 2

To use the Pythagorean theorem use the two smaller values and see if the formula equals the larder value. If it does it’s a right triangle if it doesn’t it is not a right triangle.

A. Sqrt(3.4^2 + 4.7^2) = 5.8

This is not a right triangle.

B. Sqrt(14.4^2 + 13^2) = 19.4

This is a right triangle.

C. Sqrt(12.5^2 + 4.5^2) = 13.28

This is not a right triangle.

D. Sqrt(0.3^2+1.4^2) = 1.437

This is not a right triangle.

The only one that is a right triangle is B.
