1. Problem: Determine if the triangle with sides 40 cm, 8 cm, and 41 cm is right angled.
Use the Pythagorean theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ where $c$ is the longest side.
Calculate: $$40^2 + 8^2 = 1600 + 64 = 1664$$
Calculate: $$41^2 = 1681$$
Since $$1664 \neq 1681$$, the triangle is not right angled.
2. Problem: Determine if the triangle with sides 65 cm, 52 cm, and 39 cm is right angled.
Longest side is 65 cm.
Calculate: $$52^2 + 39^2 = 2704 + 1521 = 4225$$
Calculate: $$65^2 = 4225$$
Since $$4225 = 4225$$, the triangle is right angled.
3. Problem: Determine if the triangle with sides 65 cm, 58 cm, and 28 cm is right angled.
Longest side is 65 cm.
Calculate: $$58^2 + 28^2 = 3364 + 784 = 4148$$
Calculate: $$65^2 = 4225$$
Since $$4148 \neq 4225$$, the triangle is not right angled.
Final answers:
(a) Not right angled
(b) Right angled
(c) Not right angled
