Question

Give me three sides to a right triangle. Explain how you can use the Pythagorean theorem to know that your three sides will create a right triangle.

Answer 1

The three numbers: 12, 35, 37

Applying these number to Pythagorean theorem…
a2+b2=c2
So,
12^2+35^2=37^2
144+1225=1369
1369=1369

As you can see both are equal (1369=1369), so we have a right angle triangle. If both sides are not equal then it is not classified as a right angle triangle.
