Question

Do 7 ft, 9 ft, 11 ft form a right triangle

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

if the square on the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 11 and 11² = 121

7² + 9² = 49 + 81 = 130

since 121 ≠ 130 then sides do not form a right triangle
