The answer is: [A]: "right [triangle]" . ________________________________________________ Explanation: ________________________________________________ Given: Side lengths: ________________________________________________ " 24 in., 32 in., and 40 in " ; ________________________________________________ Divide each side length by "8" ; 24 in. / 8 = 3 in. ;
32 in. / 8 = 4 in. ; and
40 in. / 8 = 5 in. . _________________________________________________ 3 in . , 4, in, 5 in. ; is a "right triangle" ;
since: 3² + 4² = 5² ;
→ 9 + 16 = 25 ;
according to the Pythagorean theorem: " a² + b² = c² " . _________________________________________________
