The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, since the triangle doesn't appear to be a right triangle, the relationship of the sides based on the Pythagorean Theorem cannot be determined.
Use the image to answer the question.
A triangle has the vertices labeled upper M upper N upper O. Upper N upper O is labeled m, upper M upper N is labeled o, and upper O upper M is labeled n. Angle upper N measures 62 degrees and angle upper M measures 28 degrees.
What is the relationship of the sides in this triangle based on the Pythagorean Theorem?
