Question

Prove if the following dimensions would result in a right triangle: 9 in, 15 in, 12 in

Answer 1

Answer:

It would result in a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove if it's a right triangle, substitute the given dimensions into the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem ($a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$) and if both sides are equal, its a right triangle:

$9^{2} + 12^{2} = 15^{2}$

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225
