Question
Check whether given sides are the sides of right-angled triangles, using Pythagoras theorem
8, 15, 17
Solution
Take a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17
Now a2 + b2 = 82 + 152
= 64 + 225
= 289
172 = 289 = c2
∴ a2 + b2 = c2
Yes, By the converse of Pythagoras theorem, the triangle with given measures is a right angled triangle.
