Question

Someone plz help me!

Do the sqrt. of 2, the sqrt. of 2, and 2 make a right triangle?

Answer 1

These values can make a right triangle.

Here's how: if the two legs have a length of
`√(2)`, and the hypotenuse is 2, the math checks out.

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem:

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

a and b represent the leg lengths, whereas c represents the hypotenuse length:

`(√(2))^(2)+(√(2))^(2) =(2)^(2)`

Then we simplify:

`2+2=4`

And this is indeed true.
