Solution
1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm
(1.5)2 = 2.25
(2)2 = 4
(2.5)2 = 6.25
Here,
2.25 + 4 = 6.25
(1.5)2 + (2)2 = (2.5)2
The square of the length of one side is the sum of the squares of the lengths of the remaining two sides. Hence, these are the sides of a right-angled triangle.
Right angle will be in front of the side of measure 2.5 cm.
