Are 3, 4, 6 the sides of a right triangle
1 answer
No, the numbers 3, 4, and 6 cannot be the sides of a right triangle. This is because 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, 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25, which is not equal to 6^2 = 36. Therefore, the given numbers cannot form a right triangle.
