उत्तर

The sides of the triangle are 8 cm, 15 cm, and 17 cm.

The longest side of the triangle is 17 cm.

∴ (17)2 = 289

Now, sum of the squares of the remaining sides is,

(8)2 + (15)2 = 64 + 225 = 289

∴ (17)2 = (8)2 + (15)2

∴ Square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.

∴ The given sides will form a right-angled triangle.  ......[Converse of Pythagoras theorem]

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)

Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`

∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.

∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`

∴ `square` + l2 = m2

∴By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
