The triangle whose sides are √13, 6, and 7, is a right triangle.
What is the right triangle?
A right triangle is defined as a triangle with one right angle or two perpendicular sides. The longest side of a right triangle is called the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem :
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the total of the squares on the legs of a right triangle.
Mathematically, let r be the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Again let p, q be the lengths of other sides of this triangle. By the Pythagorean Theorem,
r² = p² + q².
How to solve this problem?
We just check which triangle's sides follow the above theorem.
Option A (Triangle with sides √13, 6, and 7 ):
13 + 36 = 49
i.e. (√13)² + 6² = 7²
This triangle's sides follow the Pythagorean Theorem.
So, the triangle with sides √13, 6, and 7 is a right triangle.
Option B (Triangle with sides 7, 8, and 13 ):
49 + 64 ≠ 169
i.e. 7² + 8² ≠ 13²
This triangle's sides do not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.
So, the triangle with sides 7, 8, and 13 is not a right triangle.
Option C (Triangle with sides 10, 11, and 12 ):
100 + 121 ≠ 144
i.e. 10² + 11² ≠ 12²
This triangle's sides do not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.
So, the triangle with sides 10, 11, and 12 is not a right triangle.
Option D (Triangle with sides √10, 9, and 8 ):
10 + 64 ≠ 81
i.e. (√10)² + 8² ≠ 9²
This triangle's sides do not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.
So, the triangle with sides √10, 9, and 8 is not a right triangle.
Therefore the triangle whose sides are √13, 6, and 7, is a right triangle. So, option A is correct.
