Question

PTG has side lengths of 18 cm, 14 cm, and 16 cm. which type of triangle is PTG? right, obtuse, acute, isosceles

Answer 1

not isosceles cause we need 2 sides to be equal for that now we check to see how the sum of the squares of the legs compares to the hypotenuse squared

a^2+b^2=c^2 we have a right triangle

a^{2} +b^2>c^2 we have an acute triangle

the hypotenuse, c, is the longest side what is the measurement of the hypotenuse and what is the measurement of the 2 legs?
