Sagot :
Answer: No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do not have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
