Three cities form a triangle. Tom measures the distances between the three cities on a map. The distances between the three cities are 45 miles, 56 miles, and 72 miles. Is the triangle formed by the three cities a right triangle?

Nope. Does not satisfy pythagoras theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

72 squared does nit equal 45 squared plus 56 squared

for this case we have the following expression:

to solve, we rewrite the expression as:

we apply double c and we have:

thus, the quotient is 48.

so, patel found a wrong ratio and the multiplication was incorrect.

option d
