<PRE><B>Question 144169</B>
A homeowner constructed a patio 5 feet wide and 12 feet long. The distance on the diagonal was 14 feet. Determine wheather or not the patio has right angles at the corner; support your answer.
-------------------
Test with Pythagoras:
14^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
196 = 25 + 144
196 = 169
Wrong
So the patio does not have a right angle.
