Which of the following sets of numbers could NOT represent the sides of a right triangle? * 1 point 36,.47, 60 45, 60, 75 40, 42, 58 30, 40, 50

Answer 1

to be a right triangle the square of each of the shorter sides must sum to the square of the largest side

the last 3, 30,40,50 is 10 times a 3,4, 5 triangle. 9+16= 25. That's a right triangle

36,47,60 would require 60 as the hypotenuse, and 3600 = 36^2 + 47^2 which equals 3505, close but no cigar. Almost a right triangle. it's the only one that's not a right triangle.

45,60,75 means 75^2 = 60^2 + 45^2 = 5625 = 3600 + 2025 . It's a right triangle

40, 42, 58 means 58^2 = 40^2 + 42^2 = 3364 = 1600 + 1764, it's a right triangle
