You are given the side lengths of 4, 43, 8. Would this make a right triangle?

• Yes

• No -The hypotenuse should be approximately 8.9 units.

• No -The hypotenuse should be approximately 43.7 units.

Do the side lengths of 8, 15, and 17 form a right triangle?

• No because the hypotenuse does not equal 15²

• Yes

• No because the two legs do not equal the hypotenuse of 8 units.
