Which could be the 3 sides of a right triangle? (2 points)
A. 2.5, 6, and 6.5
B. 2, 3, and 5
C. 1.5, 2.5, and 4
D. 2, 2, and 5
B. 2, 3, and 5
Are you sure?
Yes, I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct answer is:
D. 2, 2, and 5
This forms a right triangle because 2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8, which is equal to 5^2 = 25.
Are you sure?
I apologize again for the mistake in my previous response. The correct sides of a right triangle should satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides should be equal to the square of the longest side in a right triangle.
The correct sides of a right triangle among the options are:
B. 2, 3, and 5
This is because 2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13, and 5^2 = 25. Therefore, B. 2, 3, and 5 can form a right triangle. Thank you for your patience.
