How can you use your results to decide if a triangle with side lengths 16​, 18​, and 34 is a right​ triangle?

Answer 1

Not a right triangle

Explanation:

We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case a and b are 16 and 18

In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.

16^2 + 18^2 = c^2

= 580^2

=
`√(580)` = 24.0832

Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
