Question

Determine if the triples below are right triangles.

Port A: 290, 696, 750
Port B: 514, 684, 855
part C: 450, 1080, 1170

Answer 1

Part A is not a rt triangle

Part B is not a rt triangle

Part C is a rt triangle

Explanation:

Part A:

290^2 + 696^2 = 750^2

84,100 + 484,416 = 562,500

Add the numbers on the left to see if the 2 sides are equal.

568,516 ≠ 562,500

Part B:

514^2 + 684^2 = 855^2

264,196 + 467,856 = 731,025

Add the numbers on the left to see if the 2 sides are equal.

732,052 ≠ 731,025

Part C:

450^2 + 1080^2 = 1170^2

202,500 + 1,166,400 = 1,368,900

1,368,900 = 1,368,900
