Answer:
D )It is a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A triangle has sides that measure 5 cm, 12 cm, and 13 cm.
To find : What type of triangle is it.
Solution : We have a triangle with sides
Let side a = 5cm
Side b = 12 cm
Side c = 13 cm.
We can see square of largest side is equal to the square of sum of two other sides.
Since, [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]
Plugging the values of a, b, c
[tex](5)^{2} +(12)^{2} = (13)^{2}[/tex]
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169
Hence it follow the Pythagoras theorem
Therefore ,D) it is a right triangle.
