Presley is marking the lines for a soccer field. She needs to form a right triangle near the goal. She measures the lengths of her sides as 9 yards, 6 yards and √45 yards.

Did Presley form a right triangle? Why?

Yes, because 6 squared + 9 squared = (startRoot 45 EndRoot) squared
Yes, because 6 squared + (StartRoot 45 EndRoot) squared = 9 squared
No, because 6 squared + 9 squared not-equals (StartRoot 45 EndRoot) Squared
No, because 6 squared + (StartRoot 45 EndRoot) squared not-equals 9 squared
