Question

Mike measured the stage where his band was going to play to determine if it is a right triangle. Does the stage with side lengths of 36 feet, 48 feet, and 60 feet form a right triangle

Answer 1

let

hypotenuse[h]=60ft

base[b]=36ft

perpendicular [p]=48ft

by using Pythagoras law

p²+b²=h²

48²+36²=60²

2896≠3600

since p²+b²≠ h²[so the stage is not in a right angled triangle]but it is scalene triangle
