Question

1. use the pythagorean theorem to determine whether this is a right triangle. 16 9 20 yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of squares of two shorter sides

$$9^{2}+16^{2}=81 + 256=337$$

Step2: Calculate the square of the longest side

$$20^{2}=400$$

Step3: Compare the two results

Since \(337
eq400\), the Pythagorean theorem \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\) (where \(c\) is the longest side) is not satisfied.

Answer:

No
