Question

Please help me with my work

Answer 1

Down below is the answer.

Explanation:

So, lets remember that the pythagreon theorm is only useable in right traingles.

The formula for the pythagreons theorm is A^2+B^2=C^2

So basically, if this is not a right triangle, the two sides(4ft^2 and 3ft^2) will be equivelent to 5ft^2.

Lets solve the pythagroens theorm and plug in our values:

4^2+3^2=5^2

Now lets use the square roots:

16+9=25

COmbine the two numbers:

25=25

This is correct!

So yes, this is a right triangle.

HOpe this helps! :)

Answer 2

If the squares of the two shorter sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse, the triangle contains a right angle.
