Determine if the following triangle is a right triangle or not using the pythagorean theorem converse. triangle with side lengths of: 41 mm, 40 mm, and 9 mm. do these measurements form a right triangle

We have 41^2 = 1681;

40^2 = 1600;

9^2 = 81;

1600 + 81 = 1681;

It works the Pythagorean Theorem Converse.

The triangle is right. It has the length of the hypotenuse 41mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for
