Question

The sides of a triangle measure 6 inches 8 inches, and 10 inches. The triangle has one 90° angle. What type of triangle is it?

Answer 1

It is a `right-/_^(ed) Delta`, as it has got one angle of measure `90^@`.

Explanation:

Even if it had not been mentioned that the `Delta` has one `90^@ /_`, we

can infer this fact from the given lengths of the sides.

Observe that, `6^2+8^2=10^2`; hence, by the converse of

Pythagoras' Theorem, the `/_` opp. to side with length `10'` is a

right-angle.
