Question 7 • Foundations of Math 1
For a right triangle, the two shorter sides must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the longest side. For Set 4, 12² + 16² = 144 + 256 = 400, and 20² = 400. Therefore, Set 4, with side lengths 12 ft, 16 ft, and 20 ft, forms a right triangle.
