## Jupiter500 one year ago One method you can use to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, given three side lengths, is to apply the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. Alternately, you can use trigonometric ratios. Show that the triangle in the diagram is a right triangle by using trigonometric ratios. (Be sure to show all work and/or reasoning.) Hint: Use the Inverse Trigonometric Functions to solve for mB and mC and then use the Triangle Sum Theorem Is this correct? I did A^2+B^2=C^2 33^2+56^2=65^2 1,089+3,136=4,225 4,225=4,225 So yes it is indeed a right triangle

yep :-) both sides are equal gO_Od to go!

2. Jupiter500

Thank you!

3. Nnesha

what diagram ?

4. Jupiter500

A Triangle

5. Nnesha

okay you didn't post that :-)

6. Nnesha

sure :-)

7. Nnesha

alright there is *inverse trig * so i just wanted to make sure :-)

8. Nnesha

btw there is a attach file button(blue one) you can attach file :-) gO_Od luck!

Thank you ya there is a trig function that's why i don't know if i did the right formula?
