Jocelyn said that the triangle below is not a right triangle. Her work is shown below. Explain what she did wrong, and show Jocelyn the correct solution. We need to check if 272 + 452 = 362 is a true statement. The left side of the equation is equal to 2,754. The right side of the equation is equal to 1,296. That means 272 + 452 = 362 is not true, and the triangle shown is not a right triangle.
