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?

1 answer
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. Since the question does not mention anything about the triangle being a right triangle, we cannot determine the relationship of the sides using the Pythagorean Theorem. Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options given.
