A triangle has sides of lengths 24, 143, and 145. Is it a right triangle? Explain.

Yes, the given triangle is right angled

Step-by-step explanation:

To confirm if the given triangle is right angled, we have to apply pythagoras theorem. It states, if a triangle is right angled then

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²

We know that the longest side is hypotenuse.

ie; (145)² = (143)² + (24)²

(145)² = 20449 + 576

21025 = 21025

As LHS = RHS, it is clear that the given triangle with sides 24, 143 and 145 units is right angled

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
