Answer:

No, it does not follow the Pythagorean Theorem.

Explanation:

A right triangle must follow the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for its sides to be true. 20^2 + 40^2 = 2000.

the square root of 2000 equals about 44.7213595.

Thus, a triangle with sides 20, 40, and 80 is not a right triangle.

Answer: no

because using Pytago theorem, we have:

20² + 40² ≠ 80²

80² + 20² ≠ 40²

80² + 40 ² ≠ 20²
