Question

Does the Pythagorean Theorem apply to this triangle? How do you know? (1 point) Responses Yes, because you can use the Pythagorean Theorem on any triangle Yes, because you can use the Pythagorean Theorem on any triangle Yes, because it is a right triangle. Yes, because it is a right triangle. No, because the triangle is not a right triangle. No, because the triangle is not a right triangle. No, because the angle at point F is 90° . No, because the angle at point cap f is 90 degrees .

Answer 1

The Pythagorean Theorem applies to a triangle only if it is a right triangle. Therefore, the correct response would be:

Yes, because it is a right triangle.

If the triangle in question has a right angle (90 degrees), then the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to determine the relationship between the lengths of the sides. If it does not have a right angle, then the Pythagorean Theorem does not apply.
