Question

question 8 of 10
△lmn 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 (the longest side). Here, \(a = 15\), \(b = 36\), \(c = 39\).
Calculate \(a^{2}+b^{2}\): \(15^{2}+36^{2}=225 + 1296=1521\).
Calculate \(c^{2}\): \(39^{2}=1521\).

Answer:

A. True
