Landon welded three pieces of metal together to form a triangle with side lengths that measure 8 inches, 9 inches and 17 inches. Is the triangle that Landon created a right triangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know whether the triangle is a right angle, we need to show that the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides

Longest side = 17in

other two sides = 8in and 9in

Check:

17² = 289

Sum of the square of other two sides

= 8² +9²

= 64 + 81

= 145

Since 17² ≠ 8² +9², hence the triangle that Landon created is not a right triangle

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken
