Question

Can a right triangle with sides 6 cm, 10 cm and 8 cm be formed? Give reason.

Answer 1

Given: Sides of triangle 6 cm, 10 cm and 8 cm

As we know,

For right-angle triangle, square of one side must equal to sum of square of other two sides.

i.e. (10)² = (6)² + (8)²

100 = 36 + 64

⇒ 100 = 100

Hence, 6 cm, 10 cm and 8 cm are sides of triangle.
