Use the pythagorean theorem to answer the questions.

can a right triangle have sides of 12, 16, and 20?

select one:

a. yes

b. no

a. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the opposite side =12

Let the adjacent side = 16

Let the hypotenuse side =20

Using the pythagoras theorem

we are going to prove that hypotenus is 20

opp² + adj² ⁼ hyp²

12² + 16² ⁼ hyp²

144 + 256 = hyp²

400 = hyp²

√400 =hyp

20= hyp

Therefore hypotenuse= 20

what's that

10 b/c 5*2 =10
