Answer:
Possibly, A right triangle has a really long side that is “c” in the picture. If the 100 length is c then the 80 one could be “b” while the 56 is “a”
I know it doesnt make much sense but I hope it helps
I see people looking at mine because its simple but you should look at the other guys awnser. He has information and details that explain their awnser. I didn’t really do much to get the awnser. Look at theirs Please.
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
If these sides come out true in the Pythagorean Theorem, then it is a right triangle.
a² + b² = c²
56² + 80² = 100²
3136 + 6400 = 10000
9536 ≠ 10000
Since these values do not come out true in the Pythagorean Theorem, it is not a right triangle.
