Question

Alicia says that she drew a right triangle with a 12cm hypotenuse, an 8cm leg, and a 10cm leg. Pablo says it is not possible. Who has the reason? Explain your answer

Answer 1

the reason is that it is not satisfying the pythagorean theorem

here

(14)^2 is not equal to[ (8)^2+(10^2]

Answer 2

Answer:

Because it does not follows pythagoras theorem.

Pythagoras theorem says that in any right angle triangle ..

$(height) { }^{2} + (base) {}^{2} = (hypotenuse) {}^{2}$

In the given qusetion

Hypotenuse =12cm

Base =8cm

Height=10 cm

which dosen' t satisfies Pythagorian triplet. That's why it is not possible
