Question

Tell whether the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle.

60, 63, 88
The answer is
yes or
no

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

so in order for it to be a right triangle this would have to be true:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

since c represents the hypoteneuse, it will be the longest side. so:

60^2 + 63^2 = 88^2

3600 + 3969 = 7744

7569 = 7744

since that statement is not true, the answer is no.

it is not a right triangle

the square root of 7569 is 87, so the triple would have to be : {60,63,87}
