A triangle has measurements of 36 ft, 48 ft, and 62 ft. Is this a right triangle? Why or why not?

No, the triangle is not a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2 if the triangle is a right triangle.

36^2+48^2=3600

62^2=3844

3600 does not equal 3844

Therefore, the triangle is not a right triangle
