1.	Is the triangle with sides 25 cm, 5 cm and 24 cm a right triangle? Give reason for your answer.
Answer» False According to the question, Let us assume that, A = 25 cm B = 5 cm C = 24 cm Now, Using Pythagoras Theorem, We have, A² = B² + C² B² + C² = (5)² + (24)² B² + C² = 25 + 576 B² + C² = 601 A² = 600 600 ≠ 601 A² ≠ B² + C² Since the sides does not satisfy the property of Pythagoras theorem, triangle with sides 25cm, 5cm and 24cm is not a right triangle.

Answer»

False

According to the question,

Let us assume that,

A = 25 cm

B = 5 cm

C = 24 cm

Now, Using Pythagoras Theorem,

We have,

A² = B² + C²

B² + C² = (5)² + (24)²

B² + C² = 25 + 576

B² + C² = 601

A² = 600

600 ≠ 601

A² ≠ B² + C²

Since the sides does not satisfy the property of Pythagoras theorem, triangle with sides 25cm, 5cm and 24cm is not a right triangle.
