Question

The following sides 16 cm , 25 cm and 14 cm are the sides of a right angled triangle

• A. SAS
• B. SSS

Answer 1

The correct option is B

SSS

The given triangle will be right angled triangle if the square of its largest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

i.e ${25}^2={16}^2+{14}^2$

${25}^2=625$ ( Largest side )

We have ${16}^2+{14}^2=256+196=452$

Since $625\ne 452$

$\Rightarrow {25}^2\ne {16}^2+{14}^2$

So the given triangle is not a right angled triangle
