Question
Chapter A.2, Problem 17AYU
To determine
Which are right triangles. For those that are, identify the hypotenuse.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 17AYU
Right triangle; hypotenuse is 5.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
3, 4, 5
Calculation:
The triangle with sides of lengths 3, 4, and 5.
Notice that the sum of the first two squares (9 and 16) equals the third square (25). That is, because , the triangle is a right triangle. The longest side, 5, is the hypotenuse.
