Is a triangle with side lengths of 6, 4, and the square root is 52 a right triangle? if so please explain how you got the answer
If it is a right triangle it will satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
legs a and b, hypotenuse c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 4^2 = 36 + 16 = 52 = c^2
sqrt(52) = c
yes it is a right triangle
