Question
Sides of the triangle are 7 cm, 24 cm, and 25 cm. Determine whether the triangle is a right-angled triangle or not.

Solution
The longest side is 25 cm.
∴ (25)2 = 625 ....(i)
Now, sum of the squares of the other two sides will be
(7)2 + (24)2 = 49 + 576
= 625 ....(ii)
∴ (25)2 = (7)2 + (24)2 .....[ From (i) and (ii)]
Yes, the given sides form a right angled triangle . ......[By 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.
