Indicate whether the measures 4. 35, 5. 8, and 7. 25 can be the side lengths of a triangle. If they can, classify the triangle. PLEASE HELP!!


yes; right

yes; obtuse

yes; acute

no


Sagot :

Classification of given triangle is right angle triangle.

Let's suppose a, b and c are the sides of a triangle.

then we know that sum of 2 sides is always greater than third side.

a + b>c

b + c>a

c + a>b

a = 4.35, b = 5.8 , c = 7.25

a + b>c 4.35+5.8 = 10.15>7.25

b + c>a  5.8 + 7.25 =  13.05>4.35

c + a>b 7.25+4.35 = 11.60>5.8

So now we can say given side lengths are representing sides of a triangle.

It generalizes the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right-angled triangle square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the base and height of the triangle, which is [tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]      

Similarly, It can be observed that

For acute-angled triangle

[tex]c^2 < a^2 + b^2[/tex]    

For Obtuse-angled triangle

[tex]c^2 > a^2 + b^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2 + b^2[/tex] = 18.9225 + 33.64 = 52.5625

[tex]c^2[/tex] = 52.5625

clearly we can see that [tex]a^2+b^2 = c^2[/tex]

So given triangle is Right-angled triangle.
