Question

the side of a triangle are 3 cm 4 cm and 6 CM determine if it is a right angle triangle

Answer 1

the largest side will be hypotenuse IE 6cm
rest sides are base and perpendicular
6²=3²+4² by Pythagoras theoram
36=9+16
36=25
then no it is not a right angled triangle

Answer 2

To prove that it is a right angled triangle we have to use Pythagoras Theorem

Here 3 cm and 4 cm are the lesser values so we take them as the measures of two sides and 6 cm as the hypotenuse

• 6² = 3² + 4²
• 36 = 9 + 16
• 36 ≠ 25

Hence the values 3, 4 and 6 do not form a right angled triangle.
