If the sum of the squares of the shortest two sides is equal to the third squared then it is a right triangle. Examples are 3,4,5 and 5,12,13 and 7,24,25 and multiples of these.

If you mean lengths of 33 by 56 by 65 then the given dimensions will form a right angle triangle.


Is scalene triangle cannot contain a right triangle?

A scalene triangle CAN also be a right triangle. For a triangle to be scalene, all 3 sides must be of different lengths. If you draw a triangle with a 90 degree right angle (ie. a right triangle) you will see that it's very easy for the sides to be unequal lenghts.


Antonio cuts pieces of string to diffrent lenghts. select all of the sets of string lenghts that form a right triangle.?

To determine which sets of string lengths form a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for three lengths (a), (b), and (c) (where (c) is the longest side), the equation (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) must hold true. You can check each set of lengths by squaring the two shorter lengths and seeing if their sum equals the square of the longest length. Any set that satisfies this condition forms a right triangle.


Can a 3 sided shape with lenghts of 8 cm 7cm and 15cm be a scalene triangle?

A triangle with those measurements would just form a straight line.


The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 feet longone leg of the triangle is 14 feet longer than the other leg find the lenghts of the legs of the triangle?

This is merely a doubling of the 5-12-13 triangle. The sides are 10 and 24 ft.


Would a triangle with the given side lenghts of 14 18 and seven make a right triangle?

Pythagorean thm: a2+b2=c2 72+ 142= 49+196=245 182= 324 Therefore NO; not a rt triangle


A triangle has two sides of lenghts 5 and 13?

Yes, that is certainly possible.


How can you determine whether a triangle is a right triangle if you only have the lengths of its three sides?

The pathagoren theorm states that a2+ b2 = c2. If you put your lenghts into the equation and it comes out true (100=100), then the triangle is a right trianlge. If it is a false equation (100=30), then it is not a right triangle. Where a = lenght of leg 1, b = lenght of leg 2, and c = lenght of hypotenuse.


What has Pythagoras accomplished?

he came up with the Pythagoras theorem: a2+b2=c2 a and be are the lenghts of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle) he also said learn the answer to a problem gives a new question.


What is the two sides of a right triangle that form a right angle?

They are the "legs" of the triangle.


How do you measure the perimeter of a scalene triangle?

Measure the length of each side.Add the lenghts together.


What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lenghts of 5 and 4?

It's 6,40312. 4²+5²= hypotenuse ² 16+25=hypotenuse ² 41=hypotenuse ² |√ 6,40312=hypotenuse
