Question
The sides of a certain triangle is given below. Find, which of them is right-triangle
16 cm, 20 cm, and 12 cm
Solution
16 cm, 20 cm and 12 cm
The given triangle will be a right-angled triangle if square of its largest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
i.e., If (20)2 = (16)2 = (12)2
(20)2 = (16)2 + (12)2
400 = 256 + 144
400 = 400
So, the given triangle is right-angled.
