D. No, Because the triangle is not a right triangle.
The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles, which have a 90 degree angle. Since the triangle in the image does not have a 90 degree angle, the Pythagorean Theorem does not apply.
Use the image to answer the question.
F point is the top point of the triangle
E is the bottom point on the left
D is the other bottom point on the right
F to E is 15
F to D is 20
Point E is 60 degrees
Point D is 30 degrees
Does the Pythagorean Theorem apply to this triangle? How do you know?
A. Yes, Because you can use Pythagorean Theorem on any triangle
B. Yes, Because it is right triangle.
C. No, Because the angle at point F is 90 degrees.
D. No, Because the triangle is not a right triangle.
