A triangle has sides with lengths of 20 millimeters, 24 millimeters, and 29 millimeters. Is it a right triangle?
1 Answer
No
Explanation:
{(a = "20 mm"), (b= "24 mm"), (c= "29 mm") :}
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in the values
20^2 + 24^2 = 29^2
400+576 != 841
because
400+576 = 976
Thus, it is not a right triangle.
