In ΔPQR, PQ = 5 cm, QR = 12 cm and PR = 13 cm, then PQR is A) an acute angled triangleB) a right angled triangle C) an obtuse angled triangle D) an equilateral triangle

Answer»

Correct option is (B) a right angled triangle

\(\because5^2+12^2\) = 25+144

= 169 \(=13^2\)

\(\therefore PQ^2+QR^2=PR^2\) which is a condition that \(\triangle PQR\) is a right angled triangle.

(By converse of Pythagoras theorem)

B) a right angled triangle
