Question

Is 11,13,17 a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer: no

Step-by-step Explanation: If the sum of the squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the third side or a² + b² = c², then the triangle is right.

In this problem, we're given a triangle that has

sides with lengths of 11, 13, and 17.

Let's plug these lengths into the pythagorean theorem.

(11)² + (13)² = (17)² or 121 + 169 = 289.

Since 121 + 169 ≠ 289, this is not a right triangle.

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to check

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

11^2+13^2 = 17^2

121+169 =289

410 does not equal 289

This is not a right triangle
