State if each triangle is a right triangle:

13 ft
5 ft
10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the longest length is always the hypotenuse

Use Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

5^2+10^2=c^2

c=11.18

Note: if c=13 than it is a right triangle

since 11.18 not=13

not right triangle

It is not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

a(squared) + b(squared) = c(sqaured)

a = 13, b = 5, c = 10

13 times 13 is 169

5 times 5 is 25

169 + 25 = 194

but that's not all.

10 times 10 is 100.

the problem is 169 + 25 is 194, not 100. for the triange to be a right triangle, all the numbers have to make sense. i don't know if this helps but again, it is not a right triangle.
