Question

What measurements could NOT be the lengths of a right triangle.

a
b
6,8,10
5, 12, 13
12, 16,20
14, 18, 22
Od

Answer 1

The answer is 14, 18, and 22.

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

14^2 + 18^2 = 22^2

196 + 324 = 484

520 = 484

This statement is not true, meaning this triangle is not a right triangle.
