Question

Hurry plz!!!!

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a triangle with sides 15 cm, 7 cm, and 16 cm is a right triangle.

Answer 1

No, this triangle is not a right triangle

Explanation:

If (7 cm)^2 + (15 cm)^2 = (16 cm)^2, then this is a right triangle, by the Pythagorean Theorem. Otherwise it is not.

15^2 + 7^2 = 225 + 49 = 1225 = 35^2. This is FALSE, and so:

No, this triangle is not a right triangle

Answer 2

It is not.

Explanation:

`15^(2)`+
`7^(2)`=225+49=274

`16^(2)`=256

274≠256
