Question

you just found that the left side of the equation has a value of 61, and the right side has a value of 49. is the equation true?
the triangle has sides 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm. the equation is $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, $5^2 + 6^2 \stackrel{?}{=} 7^2$, $61 \stackrel{?}{=} 49$.
the equation is dropdown because dropdown.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Equation Validity

An equation is true if both sides have equal values.

Step2: Compare Given Values

Left side value: \( 61 \), Right side value: \( 49 \). Since \( 61
eq 49 \), the equation is not true.

Answer:

The equation is \(\boldsymbol{\text{not true}}\) because \( 61 \) (left - hand side value) is not equal to \( 49 \) (right - hand side value).
