Question

check whether given sides of the sides are the sides of right angled triangle using Pythagorean theorem

1. 8,15,17​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, they are!

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypotenuse)²= (Base)²+(Height)²

We will assume 17 as Hypotenuse because hypotenuse should be the greatest of all three sides.

(17)²= (15)²+(8)²

289= 225+64

289= 289

Hence, they are a Pythagorean triplet.
