Question

determine is true Given a right triangle with side lengths of 4, 5, and 3, if we increase the length of the hypotenuse by 2 units but decrease the length of each leg by 1 unit, then the resulting triangle is still a right triangle.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The new side lengths are 3-1 = 2 and 4-1 = 3. The new longest side is 5+2 = 7.

The side lengths 2, 3, 7 do not form any sort of triangle, much less a right triangle.

The statement is false.
