Question

PLEASE HELP ME . how can the converse of the Pythagorean theorem help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the Pythagorean theorem we have:

`a^2+b^2=c^2` subtract b² from both sides

`a^2=c^2-b^2\to a=√(c^2-b^2)`

Same:

`b=√(c^2-a^2)`
