Felipe · Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

This does not make a right triangle because the Pythagorean Theorem shows that 4^2 + 6^2 does not equal 8^2.

16 + 36 = 64

52 doesn't equal 64.

Mariyah Black · Answer 2

This does not make a right triangle because according to the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. 16+36 does not equal 64, thefore, the triangle with the following sides is not a right triangle.
