Question

Is 8in, 15in, 17in a right triangle

Answer 1

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

C is the hypotenuse which is the longest side, b is the second longest and a is the shortest one

Answer 2

`{8}^(2) + {15}^(2) = 64 + 225 = 289 \\ {17}^(2) = 289 \\ \Rightarrow {8}^(2) + {15}^(2) = {17}^(2) \\ \Rightarrow A \: right \: triangle`
