Question

Given three sides of a triangle, state a method you could use to show it is a right triangle. Show an

example here of the side lengths of a right triangle.

Answer 1

It is a right angle triangle if it has one of it's angle to be equal to 90° and the side facing the angle will be the longest called the hypotenuse.

So if we gave triangle ABC

and <b = 90°

Then side AC = HYPOTENUSE

AB and BC are the opposite and adjacent

Explanation:

DescriptionA right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle. The relation between the sides and angles of a right triangle is the basis for trigonometry. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs

Hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an "opposite" side is the one across from a given angle, and an "adjacent" side is next to a given angle. We use special words to describe the sides of right triangles.
