Question

Can a triangle with sides 8 cm, 15 cm and 16 cm form a right angle triangle?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The longest side is 16 cm

We know, $8^2+{15}^2$$=64+225$
$=289$
$\ne {16}^2$

Hence it does not satisfy Pythagoras Theorem.

Hence the triangle is not right angled.

Hence (B)
