Explanation:

i have no explanation my sister told me with no explanation sorry

Answer 2

Yes, the three segments 16,30,34 make a right triangle.

Explanation:

The three segments are the following 16,30, and 34.

We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find out if the three numbers can make a right triangle.

-
`a^2+b^2=c^2`

When we have 3 numbers given, our largest number is the hypotenuse.

So 34 is our hypotenuse, so we substitute it as the c in our formula.

And our a^2 and b^2 are 16 and 30!

-
`16^2+30^2=34^2\\256+900=1156\\1156=1156`

Our formula verifies that the three segments provided can make a right triangle.
