Answer 1

yea kim form 90 degree angle

Explanation:

Answer 2

well, we don't know, however we know from the pythagorean theorem that the square of the two perpendicular legs added together give the slanted leg square, or namely that a² + b² = c², let's see, hmmm say a = 11in and b = 14in

`\textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2 \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{11}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{14}\\ \end{cases}~\hfill 15^2=11^2+14^2 \\\\\\ 225=121+196\implies 225\\e 317~~\bigotimes~\hfill \begin{array}{llll} \textit{they're not equal}\\ \measuredangle L\textit{ is not a right-angle}\\ \textit{therefore }\triangle KLM\\ \textit{is not a right triangle} \end{array}`
