Pythagorean theorem to determine whether each given triangle is a right triangle 8ft , 17ft , 15ft

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

a (the shortest side) = 8ft
b (the 'height') = 15ft
c (the longest/ diagonal side) = 17ft

if a²+b²=c² then it is a right angle triangle

8² + 15² = c²
c² = 289

c = √289

c = 17

hence, proven
