Question 76174: the lengths of three side of a triangle are given. Determine whether each triangle is a right triangle.
28. a = 5, b = 8, c = 9
30. a = 18, b = 24, c = 30 Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Does where c is the longest side?
a2 + b2 does not equal c2, not a right triangle
------------------
a2 + b2 = c2, so it's a right triangle
