ANSWER

Converse of Pythagorean Theorem states that:

In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle.

So, 17

=8

+15

289=64+225

289=289

So, the sides will form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenuse is the longest side

Therefore, 17 is the hypotenuse

Answer 2

Answer: Yeah, they are the sides of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

8² = 64  ,  15² = 225  ,  17² = 289

ie, 64 + 225 = 289

ie, 8² + 15² = 17²

Hence, pythagoras theorm is verified.

Hence, they form a right triangle.
