Do the side lengths 9 15 and 12 form a right triangle?
Yes they do. We find this by applying the pythagorean theorum. Since 9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2, they form a right triangle.
Is A triangle with sides of lengths 12 15 and 20 a right triangle?
No. Pythagoras' theorem states that when the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then it is a right-angled triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side (opposite the supposed right angle). In this case the hypotenuse is 20. The square of 20 is 400. The other two sides are 12 and 15. The square of 12 is 144 and the square of 15 is 225. The sum is therefore 225 + 144 = 369, which is not equal to 400, therefore the triangle cannot be a right-angled triangle.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with leg lengths of 5inches and 12 inches?
Using Pythagoras it is 13 inches
What is the area of a triangle that is 12 in and 16 in?
What is 12 in ? And what is 16 in ? ? Are they the lengths of two sides of the triangle ? Are they the length of one side and the height of the triangle ? The area of any triangle is 1/2 of the product of (length of its base) x (its height).
Is 7 8 12 a right triangle?
7, 8 & 12 are the sides of the triangle.And, for a right angled triangle the Pythagoras theorem is always applicable!Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle:(Longest Side)2 = (Side-1)2 + (Side-2)2(Longest side is called as the hypotenuse).So, using data in the question:If its a right angled triangle--->122 = 72 + 82i.e. 144 = 49 + 64 => 144 = 113, which is clearly not true!Hence, the triangle with the given sides is not a right triangle.
