A triangle has side lengths of 3cm, 4cm, and, 6cm. Is it a right triangle explain?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let us assume

Hypotenuse(h) = 6cm 

Base(b) = 3cm

Altitude(a) = 4cm

According to the Pythagoras theorem, 

Hypotenuse2 = Altitude2 + Base2

h2 = a2 + b2

⇒ h2 = 3² + 4² 

= 9 +16 = 25

According to given hypotenuse h,

h= 62 = 36

The measures do not match

We cannot have a right triangle with the given measures.


No these sides do not represnt right angle triangle.

Write a program that prompts for and reads in the two side lengths of a right triangle (floating point numbers) and then calls a float-valued function, hypot1, that calculates and returns the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. The program then displays the two side lengths and the hypotenuse length. Note: The hypot1 function returns the hypotenuse length – it does not display it; the function should not contain any cout nor cin statements. Math review: Recall that for...
