Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of 18 inches, 35 inches, and 41 inches. Is it a right triangle?​

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

To find out if this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem. All right triangles follow the Pythagorean Theorem. In this case, the legs of the figure are 18 and 35 (a and b) and the hypotenuse is 41 (c).

Now, we plug in values and simplify.

• 
  `18^2 + 35^2 = 41^2`
• 
  `324 + 1225 = 1681`
• 
  `1449\\eq 1681`

As you can see, 1449 is not equal to 1681, so this triangle is not a triangle triangle.
