3 Xavier sketches several designs for a math club Concept Application pin. The math club voted for the pin shape to be a right triangle. Which of the following class=

Answer :

Answer:

D ...

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out which triangle is NOT a right triangle. Square each leg and add them together. Then, square the hypotenuse (longest side). If the sums are equal, then the triangle IS a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem:

a(a) + b(b) = c(c) ; a squared plus b squared equals c squared

6(6) + 24(24) =? 26(26) ; leg a =6, leg b=24, hypotenuse=26

36 + 576 =? 676 ; simplify

612 =? 676 ; is 612 equal to 676?
