Question

Which real-world scenario involves a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

triangular bike path. it satisfies pythagoras theorem

Explanation:

Answer 2

a triangular bike path with lengths of 5 miles, 12 miles, and 13 miles

Explanation:

• When the angle between any two sides is equal to "90°" it is know  as "right angle triangle".
• A right-angled triangle is has 3 sides, “base” “hypotenuse” & “height” with the angle between base & height being 90° and the hypotenuse being bigger in size than the other two sides

The formula for a right angle triangle is (also know as the pythagoras theorem)

$a^{2} + b^{2} =c^{2}$

Where a & b are the sides opposite to the hypotenuse and c is the hypotenuse

that is, in this case a = 5, b= 12, c= 13

$5^{2} + 12^{2} = 13^{2}$

therefore, from the above we get

$25+144= 169$

Which is

$169=169$

Hence, the triangle bike path meets the criteria for a real-world scenario right angle triangle
