Question

The length of the sides of a triangle is given. Determine

Answer 1

Answer:

The triangle is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be right, Pythagoras’ theorem must be obeyed

According to the theorem, the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Now, from the given side lengths, the highest value is 10;

squaring this, we have 10^2 = 100

Squaring and adding the other values, we have

6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

This mean the values are equal and the Pythagoras’ theorem is obeyed

Hence, we can conclude that the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle
