If a sail has the shape of a right triangle. The side lengths are 146', 131', and 84' . Is it a right triangle explain?
It can be found whether a triangle is a right triangle or not with the side lengths by plugging them into the Pythagorean Theorum. If they fit a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the length of the longest side, then it is a right triangle. So, since 84^2 + 131^2 = 24217 and 146^2 = 21316, it is not a right triangle, as the sums are not equal. ChaCha!
