Question

Can someone please help and explain how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to prove a triangle is a right triangle.

Answer 1

Hi there!

For the Pythagorean Theorem, basically you just need to apply this formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

And then find the root of the hypotenuse.

For example,

15^2 + 8^2 = the hypotenuse^2

Which equals, 225 + 64 = 289

Square root of 289 = 17

Please mark me brainliest if this helps!

Have a wonderful day!
