Use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to check whether a triangle whose sides are of lengths 11,60 , and 61 is a right triangle.
First square the lengths of the sides.
\[
11^{2}=
\]
\[
60^{2}=
\]
\[
61^{2}=
\]
In the given triangle, are there two sides that when squared and added together equal the square of the third side?
Yes
No
Is the triangle a right triangle?
Yes
No
\(\boxed{\text{Yes, the triangle with sides 11, 60, and 61 is a right triangle.}}\)
Step 1 :Given a triangle with sides of lengths 11, 60, and 61, we are to determine if it is a right triangle.
Step 2 :First, we square the lengths of the sides: \(11^{2} = 121\), \(60^{2} = 3600\), and \(61^{2} = 3721\).
Step 3 :We then check if the sum of the squares of two of the sides equals the square of the remaining side. In this case, we check if \(11^{2} + 60^{2} = 61^{2}\).
Step 4 :Calculating, we find that \(121 + 3600 = 3721\).
Step 5 :Since the sum of the squares of the sides 11 and 60 equals the square of the side 61, the triangle with sides 11, 60, and 61 is a right triangle according to the Pythagorean theorem.
Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{Yes, the triangle with sides 11, 60, and 61 is a right triangle.}}\)
