Question

Answer Asap- If a triangle has a side of 36, 15, and 39 meters, is it a right triangle.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if the measurements can make a right triangle.

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

39 is the longest of the group, so it would be the hypotenuse. 36 and 15 will be the legs.

`15^2+36^2=39^2\\39^2 = 1521\\\rightarrow15^2 + 36^2 =1521\\15^2 = 225\\36^2 = 1296\\\rightarrow 225 + 1296 = 1521\\1521=1521`

The given measurements would make a right triangle, since it satisfies the theorem.
