There are many sets of side lengths that will make a right triangle. Try 3-4-5 or any multiple of those like 6-8-10. Another common one is 5-12-13 or a multiple thereof. The way to check to see if any three side lengths make a right triangle is to use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. If the longest side is c, calculate the value of c2 and see if it is less than, greater than or equal to a2 + b2, the sum of the squares of the other two sides. If the quantities are equal, the triangle would be a right triangle. If c2 is less than a2 + b2 the triangle would be acute. If c2 is greater than a2 + b2 the triangle would be obtuse.

Do these three sides make a right triangle 5 5 3?

3, 5, 5 does not make a right angle triangle but they can make an isosceles triangle Correct. Try 3,4,5. That will be a right triangle. 3x3 plus 4x4 = 5x5

Is it possible to draw a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm 4 cm and 5 cm?

Yes, those measurements can form a triangle. If you add any two sides, they will always be greater than the third, so it can be a triangle.Those measurements are actually called a "Pythagorean Triple", because those measurements (and their multiples) will always be a right triangle. Any Pythagorean Triple will measure to a right triangle.


What is phythagorean theorem?

The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is a2+b2=c2 :] The Pythagorean Theorem is finding the measurements in a right triangle. The side of the triangle across from the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the two other sides are called the legs :3 I hope I could help! <3


Do the numbers 3-4and 5 make a 90 degree right triangle?

Yes because 3, 4 and 5 complies with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.


Where N this triangle side AC 2 side BC 3 and side AB 4. Is triangle ABC a right triangle?

The given dimensions would not make a right angle triangle because they don't comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
