Algebra.Com's Answer #1091 by kiru_khandelwal(79)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a right angled triangle let the perpendicular length be p and base be b and hypotenuse be h\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In a right angles triangle hypotonuese is the longest side and also \n" ); document.write( "p^2 + b^2 = h^2.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO in a traingle with sides 10, 22 and 18......the longest side 22 be the hypotenuese \n" ); document.write( "so let h = 22 \n" ); document.write( "Now if (10)^2 + 18^2 = 22^2 then it will be a right angled triangle... \n" ); document.write( "10^2 + 18^2 = 100 + 324 = 424\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "22^2 = 22*22 = 424\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This implies that it is a right angled triangle :-) \n" ); document.write( " |
