Question

Based on the areas of the squares determine whether the triangle shown is a right triangle

Answer 1

The answer is "triangle ABC is not a right triangle".

Explanation:

For a right-angle triangle:

Its square upon on longest or triangular edges is equivalent to the total of the other two squares

Its parameters indicated throughout the question are;

Square of lateral length
`A = 7 \ inch^2`

The square of lateral length
`B = 18 \ inch^2`

The square of lateral length
`C=27\ inch^2`

Thus, the longest side is C, as well as the size
`inch^2` of the squares of its two sides, is
`7 + 18 = 25 \ inch^2`, lower than square
`C = 27\ inch^2`, hence, the ABC triangle is not correct. Its longest edge is consequently C.
