Question

The segments shown below could form a triangle.

Answer 1

False because they don’t reach

Answer 2

Answer: B. False

Explanation:

It does not follow the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The sum of the two legs (shorter sides) squared would have to equal the hypotenuse (longest side) squared in order to form a right triangle.

5^2 = 25

6^2 = 36

25 + 36 = 61

8^2 = 64

61 < 64
