No.

Due to Pythagoras' Theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side of the right triangle) has to be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

If this is too wordy, call the sides a, b and c, where c is the hypotenuse. Then a2+b2=c2 for any right triangle.

Hence, with 3, 6 and 8 we have 9+36=64 (or 36+9=64 depending on how you choose a and b) which is clearly wrong, so a triangle with sides of length 3, 6 and 8 is NOT a right triangle.

What is the length of missing side B in the figure of a triangle with one side 7 cm and one side 13 cm?

To determine the length of the missing side B in a triangle, we need more information about the triangle, such as whether it is a right triangle or the length of the third side. If the triangle is a right triangle, we could apply the Pythagorean theorem. If it's not a right triangle, we would need the measure of the included angle or additional side lengths to make a calculation. Without this information, the length of side B cannot be determined.


What is an isosceles and scalene?

They are triangles. An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal length, and the other side would be a different length. A right triangle could be an isosceles triangle. On the other hand, a scalene triangle has all of its sides different lengths.

How do you determine which numbers could respresent sides of a right triangle?

Pick three numbers. If the square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, then the three numbers could represent the sides of a right triangle.

Does all isosceles triangles haves a right angle?

no, although they could as an isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. So it could be an isosceles right angled triangle but it could also be an isosceles without a right angle, for example /\ this sort of shape.
