9, 40, 41

Sum

Solution

Take a = 9, b = 40 and c = 41

Now a2 + b2 = 92 + 402

= 81 + 1600

= 1681

c2 = 412 = 1681

∴ a2 + b2 = c2

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

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.
