Ariel completed the work below to show that a triangle with side lengths of 9, 15, and 12 does not form a right triangle. mc018-1.jpg is ariel’s answer correct? no, ariel should have added 122 and 152 and compared that to 92. no, ariel should have subtracted 122 from 92 and compared that to152. no, ariel should have added 92 and 122 and compared that to 152. yes, ariel’s work is correct.

In a right-angled triangle: 1- the hypotenuse is the longest side2- we can apply pythagorean rule which states that: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2for the given triangle,longest side is 15 cm  side1 = 9 cmside2 is 12 cm  to check whether the triangle is right-angled or not,compare (15)^2 to the summation of (9)^2 and (12)^in other words, compare 225 to the summation of 81 and 144if they are both equal, then the triangle is right-angles, otherwise, it is not.you haven't provided the diagram showing her work, so i cannot tell the choice. however, apply my explanation to the question you have.
