Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

A triangle has sides with lengths of 12 feet, 12 feet, and 15 feet. Is it a right triangle?

Yes or no?

Answer 1

No it is not a right triangle. It is an acute isosceles triangle.

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

In order to find whether or not side lengths will form a right triangle, you must use the pythagorean theorem.

`12^(2) + 12^(2) = c^(2)`

Calculate square roots and add

144 + 144 = 288

Than square root that number

`√(288)` = 16.970

Due to the answer not being of equivalent to 15, the side lengths do not produce a triangle
