Question

Can someone help me find the answer?

Answer 1

No it is not a right triangle.

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer this question

1. find the missing side

8+5+x=22

13+x=22

x=9

2. Plug what you know into the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2=c^2

8^2+5^2=9^2

(if this is true then it is a right angle)

64+25=81

89≠81

Answer 2

AC=9 cm

ABC is not a right angled triangle

Explanation:

AB=8cm

BC=5cm

22=AB+BC+AC

AC=22-8-5

AC=9

since AC is the longest,

using Pythagoras theorem

AC^2=BC^2+AB^2

9^2=8^2+5^2

81=64+25

81=89

therefore, it is not a right angled triangle
