The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then  c^{2} = a^{2}  +  b^{2} 
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
 65^{2} =16 ^{2} +  63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.
