Answer:
B. No, because 7² + 12² < 15²
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
But in this case, we need to change it to this.
a² + b² ≥ c²
So we need the sum of a² or 7² and b² or 12² to be the same as or bigger than c² or 15².
7² = 7x 7 = 49
12² = 12 x 12 = 144
15² = 15 x 15 = 225
144 + 49 = 193
√193 ≈ 13.89
√225 = 15
Is 13.89 more than 15?
No.
Is 13.89 up to 15?
No.
So, the answer is no because √(7² + 12²) ≈ 13.89, which isn't up to 15.
