Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The lengths of a triangle are 11, 60 and 61.

02

Step 2. Show that the triangle is a right triangle.

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: In a triangle, if the square of the length of one side equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, the triangle is a right triangle.

The square of the largest side is:

612=3721

The sum of squares of the other two sides is:

602+112=3600+121=3721

03

Step 3. Conclusion.
