Question

Can someone help me with this ASAP please and thank you

Answer 1

C. I and IV only

Explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean theorem to all triangles, and see which ones make the equation true.

I.

8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289

17^2 = 289

289 = 289

Right Triangle

II.

4^2 + 5^2 = 16 + 25 = 41

6^2 = 36

41 is not equal to 36

Not a Right Triangle

III.

2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8

3^2 = 9

8 is not equal to 9

Not a Right Triangle

IV.

9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225

15^2 = 225

225 = 225

Right Triangle

Answer: C. I and IV only

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Triangles will only be right triangles if a² + b² = c² where a and b are legs and c is hypotenuse. Numbers 1 and 2 pass this test so the answer is c.
