Question

Check whether given sides are the sides of right-angled triangles, using Pythagoras theorem

12, 13, 15

Sum

Solution

Take a = 12, b = 13 and c = 15

Now a2 + b2 = 122 + 132

= 144 + 169

= 313

152 = 225 ≠ 313

No, By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is not a right angled triangle.
