The correct Answer is:
To determine if the triangle with sides 25 cm, 5 cm, and 24 cm is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the sides of the triangle**: - Given sides are 25 cm, 5 cm, and 24 cm. - The longest side is 25 cm, which we will consider as the hypotenuse (let's call it side A). - The other two sides are 5 cm (side B) and 24 cm (side C). 2. **Apply the Pythagorean theorem**: - According to the theorem, for a right triangle, the following equation must hold true: \[ A^2 = B^2 + C^2 \] - Here, substituting the values: \[ 25^2 = 5^2 + 24^2 \] 3. **Calculate the squares of the sides**: - Calculate \(25^2\): \[ 25^2 = 625 \] - Calculate \(5^2\): \[ 5^2 = 25 \] - Calculate \(24^2\): \[ 24^2 = 576 \] 4. **Add the squares of the two shorter sides**: - Now, add \(5^2\) and \(24^2\): \[ 5^2 + 24^2 = 25 + 576 = 601 \] 5. **Compare the results**: - Now we compare \(A^2\) and \(B^2 + C^2\): \[ 625 \neq 601 \] - Since \(625\) is not equal to \(601\), the condition of the Pythagorean theorem is not satisfied. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the triangle with sides 25 cm, 5 cm, and 24 cm is **not a right triangle**.
