PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

A triangle has sides with lengths of 50 millimeters, 65 millimeters, and 83 millimeters. Is it a right triangle?

Yes or no?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length sides of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

so

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

where

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

we have

[tex]c=83\ mm\\a=50\ mm\\b=65\ mm[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]83^2=50^2+65^2[/tex]

[tex]6,889=2,500+4,225[/tex]

[tex]6,889 \neq 6,725[/tex]

therefore

Is not a right triangle
