Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
- A triangle with some side measure .
- The sides are 4 ,6,7.
And we need to tell whether it is a right angled triangle or not . It will be a right angled triangle if it follows the Pythagoras Theorem.
Pythagoras Theorem :-
- In right angle triangle the sum of squares of the two smallest sides is equal to the square of the largest side .
Here the two smallest sides are 4 & 6 .
Sum of Squares of 4 and 6 :-
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 4² + 6²
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 24 + 36
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 60
Square of 7 :-
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 7²
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 49
And :-
- They aren't equal. So the triangle is not a right angled triangle .
Hence the triangle is not a right angle triangle.
Answer:
No, this triangle is not a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Definition(s)/explanations
- This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem applies.
- The Pythagorean Theorem states that the legs of the triangle, squared, must equal the hypotenuse, squared.
- The legs of the triangle are the sides that make the right angle.
- The hypotenuse is the longest side.
Formula:
[tex]pt-a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
[tex]legs=a,b[/tex]
[tex]hypotenuse=c[/tex]
Step 2: Solve.
Now, I just plug the numbers into the formula.
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
[tex]4^2+6^2=7^2[/tex]
[tex]16+36\neq 49[/tex]
If the legs of the triangle do not equal the hypotenuse, then the triangle cannot be a right triangle.
Step 3: Conclude.
Therefore, the triangle cannot be a right triangle.
