1. If the sides of a triangle are

   

long, determine whether the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Solution:

We have,

Sides of triangle as

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->    AB\text{ }=\text{ }3\text{ }cm  \\ <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->    BC\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }cm  \\ <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->    AC\text{ }=\text{ }6\text{ }cm  \\ <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> \end{array}\]

                                                        

   

On finding their squares, we get

   

                                                          

So, by converse of Pythagoras theorem the given sides cannot be the sides of a right triangle.
