JudyTo determine if 18, 24, and 30 can be the side lengths of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which 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 other two sides.
In this case, 18^2 + 24^2 = 900 and 30^2 = 900. Since the two values are equal, 18, 24, and 30 can form a right triangle.
Sure, honey. To check if those numbers can be the side lengths of a right triangle, you apply the Pythagorean theorem. So, if 18² + 24² = 30², then you've got yourself a right triangle. But guess what? 18² + 24² does not equal 30², so those sides ain't gonna cut it for a right triangle.

Can a right triangle have side lengths of 12 14 and 18?
no.
Given two sides with lengths 34 and 14 which number would not work for the third side of the triangle?
18
What is the height of an equilateral triangle with the side lengths of 18 center meters?
In effect an equilateral triangle is made up of two right angle triangles joined together so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the height:- 182-92 = 243 and the square root of this will be the height of the equilateral triangle which is about 15.588 cm
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 5 and 13?
To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side. If the side of length 13 is the longest side then the missing side must be greater than 13 - 5 = 8 If the missing side is the longest side then the missing side must be less than 13 + 5 = 18 Thus any length that is greater than 8 and less than 18 Examples include: 9, 12, 17 If the third side is 12, the triangle is a Pythagorean triangle.
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 8 and 10?
To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side.If the side of length 10 is the longer side then the missing side must be greater than 10 - 8 = 2;If the missing side is the longer side then the missing side must be less than 8 + 10 = 18.Thus any length that is greater than 2 and less than 18.Examples include: 7, 10, 8, 4.
