What is the difference between the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse?
A. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides of a triangle that is not a right triangle does not equal the square of the longest side.
B. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the two shortest sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the two shortest sides of a triangle that is not a right triangle does not equal the square of the longest side.
C. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem states that if the sum of the squares of the two shortest sides of a triangle equals the square of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle.
D. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the two shortest sides of a right triangle equals the square of the longest side. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem states that if the sum of the two shortest sides of a triangle equals the square of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle.
