Which measurements could NOT represent the side lengths of a right triangle? * 1 point A. 6 cm, 8 cm. 10 cm B. 12 cm, 35 cm, 37 cm C. 4 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm D. 10 cm, 24 cm, 26 cm

Answer:

C. 4cm, 6cm, 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Is a ≤ b < c are the side lengths of a right triangle, then

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

A. 6cm, 8cm, 10cm.

Substitute:

[tex]6^2+8^2=10^2\\36+64=100\\100=100\to TRUE[/tex]

B. 12cm, 35cm, 37cm.

Substitute:

[tex]12^2+35^2=37^2\\144+1225=1369\\1369=1369\to TRUE[/tex]

C. 4cm, 6cm, 10cm.

It's not the side lengths of a triangle, because 4 + 6 = 10.

Without looking at it, we will check equality

[tex]4^2+6^2=10^2\\16+36=100\\52=100\to FALSE[/tex]

D. 10cm, 24cm, 26cm.

Substitute:

[tex]10^2+24^2=26^2\\100+576=676\\676=676\to TRUE[/tex]

The measurement that could not represent the side length of a right triangle is  4 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm.

What is a right triangle?

A right triangle is a triangle that consists of three sides. The longest side is the hypotenuse. The other sides are the base and the length. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

According to this theorem, the square of the hypotenuse should be equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where:

a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

Which measurements do not represent the side lengths of the right triangle?

6² + 8² = 10²

36 + 64 = 100

Option B = 12² + 35

= √144 + 1225

= √1369

= 37

Option C = 4² + 6²

16 + 36

= √52

= 7.2

Option D: 10² + 24² = 26²

100 + 576

= √676

= 26
