Question

Is it a right triangle please help!

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

Hello There!

We can figure out if the given side lengths form a right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the hypotenuse (longest side) squared equal to sum of the two legs squared

so if it is a right triangle then

`74^2=71^+24^2`

`74^2=5476\\71^2=5041\\24^2=576\\5041+576=5617\\5476\\eq 5617`

5617 is not equal to 5476 therefore the given side lengths do not form a right triangle
