the first question is: Is this a right triangle?
5 12 13 are half the sides
is 25 + 144 = 169 ?
yes, so it is a right triangle
now could it be 45 , 45 , 90 ?
No, because sides opposite congruent angles are equal. Our triangle has no two equal length sides.
Now, could it be 30, 60, 90 ?
Well, if it were then the hypotenuse would be twice the shortest side because sin 30 = 1/2
Is 24 twice 10 ?
No, so it is not 30, 60, 90 either.
Tell weather a triangle with side lengths of 10,24,26 could be 45 45 90 degrees or 30 60 90 degrees. Explain.
