Question

Check whether given sides are the sides of right-angled triangles, using Pythagoras theorem

8, 15, 17

Answer 1

Take a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17

Now a² + b² = 8² + 15²

= 64 + 225

= 289

17² = 289 = c²

∴ a² + b² = c²

Yes, By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
