Do the side lengths 17, 8, and 15 form a right triangle?

If so, how do you know?
If not, how do you know?

Answer 1

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, 17² =8² +15²

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

yes these 3 sided can form a right angled triangle

( Pythagoras theorem)

15 sq. + 8sq. = 17 sq

225 + 64 = 289

hope you understand it!
