Question

Is 8in, 15in, 17in a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

C is the hypotenuse which is the longest side, b is the second longest and a is the shortest one

Answer 2

${8}^{2} + {15}^{2} = 64 + 225 = 289 \\ {17}^{2} = 289 \\ \Rightarrow {8}^{2} + {15}^{2} = {17}^{2} \\ \Rightarrow A \: right \: triangle$
