Question

Darnell is trying to understand the Pythagorean Theorem by drawing a few triangles. He found that 1² + 1² = (√2)² is accurate. Which statement is true about Darnell’s triangle?

A. The triangle is not a right triangle because the lengths of its sides measure the same.

B. The triangle is not a right triangle because the hypotenuse is shorter that the lengths of its sides.

C. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and √2 with a hypotenuse of 1.

D. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and 1 with a hypotenuse of √2.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Answer 1

D.

Explanation:

Srry if your question was already answered but im very sure its D.

Answer 2

D. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and 1 with a hypotenuse of √2.

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is modeled by a² + b² = c².

c represents the hypotenuse and a and b represent the other two sides.

The Pythagorean Theorem can only be applied to right triangles.
