Question
The sides of triangle is given below. Determine it is right triangle or not.
a = 7 cm, b = 24 cm and c = 25 cm
Solution
We have,
a = 7 cm, b = 24 cm and c = 25 cm
∴ a2 = 49, b2 = 576 and c2 = 625
Since, a2 + b2 = 49 + 576
= 625
= c2
Then, by converse of Pythagoras theorem, given triangle is a right triangle.
