Question

question 2 of 10
△wxy is a right triangle.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

For a right - triangle, \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse. Let \(a = \sqrt{18}\), \(b=\sqrt{18}\), and \(c=\sqrt{36}\).
Calculate \(a^{2}+b^{2}\): \((\sqrt{18})^{2}+(\sqrt{18})^{2}=18 + 18=36\).
Calculate \(c^{2}\): \((\sqrt{36})^{2}=36\).

Answer:

A. True
