Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of 6 yards, 8 yards, and 10 yards. Is it a right triangle?

Answer 1

No, it's not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about it a right triangle has 2 equal sides. So no this isn't a right traingle.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

so, by the Pythagorean theorem

If it is a right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so,

6^2 = 36

8^2 = 64

10^2 = 100

okay, now we plug these into the equation

36 + 64 = 100

so yes, it is a right triangle.
