Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of 100 inches, 56 inches, and 80 inches. Is it a right triangle?

Answer 1

Possibly, A right triangle has a really long side that is "c" in the picture. If the 100 length is c then the 80 one could be "b" while the 56 is "a"

I know it doesnt make much sense but I hope it helps

I see people looking at mine because its simple but you should look at the other guys awnser. He has information and details that explain their awnser. I didn't really do much to get the awnser. Look at theirs Please.

Answer 2

No.

Explanation:

If these sides come out true in the Pythagorean Theorem, then it is a right triangle.

a² + b² = c²

56² + 80² = 100²

3136 + 6400 = 10000

9536 ≠ 10000

Since these values do not come out true in the Pythagorean Theorem, it is not a right triangle.
