Ella’s geometry teacher asked each student to devise a problem and write out its solution. Here is Ella’s work: A triangle has side lengths of 10, 11, and 15. What type of triangle is it?

Procedure:

102 ?? 112 + 152

100 ?? 121 + 225

100 < 346

Conclusion:

This triangle is an acute triangle.

Which statement best summarizes Ella’s work?

Ella’s procedure and conclusion are correct.
Ella’s procedure is correct, but her conclusion is incorrect.
Ella’s procedure is incorrect, but her conclusion is correct.

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, we must use the pythagorean theorem to solve. This theorem can be used to find the missing length of right triangles.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let's fill in the lengths that we know

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

Solve

a^2 + 144 = 169

a^2 = 25

a*a = 25

Find the square root of 25

5

The length of the second leg is 15 units

Hope this helped :)
