Question

The length of three sides of a triangle are 12, 35 and 37 centimeters. Determine whether the triangle is a right triangle. Show your calculations to support your answer.

Answer 1

it is a right triangle

Explanation:

confirm if it is a right triangle using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

12² + 35²

144 + 1225 = 1369

square toot of 1369 is 37

so

12² + 35² = 37²
