Q. Question 4A triangle has side lengths =5m,12m,13mA) Is the triangle a right triangle? (type yes or no in the blank)_B) Give the number proof for your answer in
Use Pythagorean Theorem: To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. c2=a2+b2
Identify Longest Side: First, we need to identify the longest side which could be the hypotenuse. Since 13 is greater than 12 and 5, 13m is the hypotenuse.
Check for Right Triangle: Now, we check if 52+(12)2 equals (13)2.
Calculate 52: Calculate 52: 52=25.
Calculate (12)2: Calculate (12)2: (12)2=12.
Add Squares of Shorter Sides: Add the squares of the two shorter sides: 25+12=37.
Calculate (13)2: Calculate (13)2: (13)2=13.
