Question

The side lengths of triangle JKT are 60 cm80 cmand 100 cm. Which formula can be used to show that is a right triangle?

Answer 1

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Side a = 60 cm

Side b = 80 cm

Side c = 100 cm

The formula of right triangle is as follows,

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

By putting the value in the formula, we get

`60^(2) + 80^(2) = 100^(2)`

= 3,600 + 6,400 = 10,000

= 10,000 = 10,000

As, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, this shows it is a right triangle.
