Question

Consider these three squares with known area. 3 squares. The smallest square is labeled 25, the next square is 144, and the largest square is 169. Can a right triangle be formed using these squares?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is "5, 12, and 13".

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

The right triangle is a triangle with only an angle of 90 degrees, as well as the go in the angle of 90 degrees, which is considered a hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse calculation square is equivalent to both the squared measures of the other two sides:

`C^2=A^2+B^2`

And even those squares do verify the equation:

`169 = 144 + 25`

So, it's a rectangular (right) triangle, with sides spanning
`5, 12, \ and \ 13.`
