Algebra.Com's Answer #430596 by neatmath(302)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find our answer. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If this relation is not true, then the triangle can not be a right triangle. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, the given triangle is a right triangle, and does indeed contain a right angle. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I knew the answer before I did the math, using a secret about special triangles. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This triangle is of the form 3:4:5, which is a Pythagorean Triple. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANY triangle with sides in the ratio 3:4:5 is a right triangle. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another popular Pythagorean Triple is 5:12:13 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps!
