What kind of triangles DO follow that relationship?

Once you know that, pick the ones that DON'T

Let me know if you need more clarification (I don't like spitting out the answers).

well if you want one that doesn't satisfy this just us an equiladeral triangle because then it would be a2+b2+c2 pythagrium triangles use that formula. Meaning two sides squared equals the longest side squared.

I guess what you are trying to type is the Pythagorean Theorem, right? If so, we type it this way:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

This is read: A SQUARED PLUS B SQUARED EQUALS C SQUARED.

You must find 3 numbers that when plugged into the formula given above, will not produce TWO equal sides. In other words, one side of the equation cannot equal the other side for your question.

This question is one of those questions where different answers are possible. I will let you find some numbers to plug into the Pythagorean Theorem. If you need further help, write back.

The formula (wrongly stated) only works for a right triangle, one which has one angle of 90 degrees. So any triangle that is NOT a right triangles (such as an isocoles triangle, one with three 60 degree angles) will work as an answer.

haha im doing this right now but its simple basicly you need atleast 2 sides which are the "legs on a triangle" so A squared is one leg b squared is another leg and c squared is the hypotenuse
so basicly. u need to make squares on each side so if u had a 1x1 triange u make squares on the sides so 1squared is 1 same with the other sooooo what ever they equal it equals the hypotenuse. instead of going throught boxing the sqaure of the hyptenuse just add em like u have

I am sorry to say that my math grade started to drop after grade school. Whenever I found myself having difficulty solving a particular math problem I would sit the problem aside, work on the other math problems, and come back to the one I was stuck on. If I could not solve it after having worked on the others I would mark it and ask my teacher about it before class. Sometimes I would look at it before class and surprise, surprise, I would have the answer.

If you need any additional help I suggest you turn to a homework helpline. True they will not give you the answer outright, they'll explain everything and help you work it out until you get the right answer. I do not mean to imply that you are lazy or anything.

This formula (Pythagorean Therom) only works for right triangles. Triangles with a right angle. An obtuse or acute triangle or any triangle that does not have any right angles will not hold to this therom.

a=1, b=1, c=40
that defintely doesn't work, because 1^2 + 1^2 does not equal 400^2
or are u talking about triangles that do exist?

Any equilateral triangle will do!
