Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of 60 feet, 63 feet, and 87 feet. Is it a right triangle?

Answer 1

Yes, hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if this triangle is a right triangle:

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

Note that
`a` and
`b` are the legs of the triangle and
`c` is the hypotenuse:

Substitute the lengths of the sides into the equation:

`60^2+63^2=87^2`

`3600+3969=7569\\7569=7569`

Therefore this triangle is a right triangle.
