Question

A triangular face of the roof of the garage has two sides
that are √93 feet in length each and a base of length
186 feet. Is the roof a right triangle? Explain the steps
to take to determine whether the roof forms a right
triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

The roof does form a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a right triangle then it will obey the Pythagoras Theorem.

Now  (√186)^2 = (√93)^2 + (√93)^2

              186 = 93 + 93 = 186

So it obeys the theorem and is therefore a right triangle.
