Question

Determine whether a triangle with side lengths , , and is a right triangle.

Answer

To figure this problem out, we need to recall the Pythagorean Theorem.

Now we simply plug in for , for , and for .

If both sides are equal, then the side lengths result in a right triangle.

Since both sides are not equal, we can conclude that the side lengths are not a right triangle.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Determine whether a triangle with side lengths 5, 12, and 13 is a right triangle.

Answer

To figure this problem out, we need to recall the Pythagorean Theorem.

Now we simply plug in 5 for , 12 for , and 13 for .

If both sides are equal, then the side lengths result in a right triangle.

52 + 122 = 132

25 + 144 = 169

169 = 169

Since both sides are equal, we can conclude that this is a right triangle.
