Determine whether each set of measures can be the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.
6, 8, 10

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given set of measures is the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

Step by step solution

Step1. Given

The sides of triangles are $6, 8, 10$

Step2. Determine how to identify whether the given measures are the sides of the right triangle, acute triangle, an obtuse triangle.

If, $c$ is the longest side of the triangle, $a$ and $b$ are the other two sides of the triangle then:

(i) If $c^{2} < a^{2} + b^{2}$ , then the triangle is acute.

(ii) If $c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$ , then the triangle is a right triangle.

(iii) If $c^{2} > a^{2} + b^{2}$ , then the triangle is obtuse.

Step3. Determine whether the given set of measures can be the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

The triangle is having sides of measures 6, 8, and 10.

The longest side of the triangle is 10.

Therefore, the value $c$ is 10.

Therefore, the values of $a$ and $b$ are 6 and 8 respectively.

Now, it can be obtained that:

$\begin{array}{l} a^{2} = 6^{2} = 36 \\ b^{2} = 8^{2} = 64 \\ c^{2} = 10^{2} = 100 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} = 36 + 64 = 100 \end{array}$

It can be noticed that:

$\begin{array}{l} a^{2} + b^{2} = 100 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} \end{array}$

As, $c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$ , therefore, the triangle is a right triangle.

Therefore, the given set of measures is the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.
