Answer:
This is not a right triangle because it does not fit in the Pythagorean Theorem.
Values that would work for a right triangle or in the theorem would be √3, √4, and √7.
Explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is used for right triangles, and the formula is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. c should be the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle. In this case, c is √7.
Remember that a root of a number times itself is the number (√4 * √4 is equal to 2 * 2, which is 4!)
√3^2 + 1^2 = √7^2
3 + 1 = 7
4 ≠ 7
Since 4 does not equal 7, we can confirm that this is not a right triangle. A value that would work is √4, which can substitute 1. Let's see it in action:
√3^2 + √4^2 = √7^2
3 + 4 = 7
7 = 7
