Question

A triangle with sides of lengths 16, 30, and 35 is a right triangle. O A. True O B. False ​

Answer 1

B- false


the two sides don’t equal each other, so the sides don’t make a right triangle

Answer 2

B false

Explanation:

The Theorem states that for a right triangle,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the two shorter sides.

So does our given lengths work? Let's see:

16^2+30^2=35^2

256+900=1225

1156=1225

1156≠1225

And as we can see, the two sides do not equal each other, so this means the sides do not make a right triangle.
