You can put this solution on YOUR website!

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find our answer.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\" where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If this relation is not true, then the triangle can not be a right triangle.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"15%5E2%2B20%5E2=25%5E2\" Is this equation true?
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"225%2B400=625\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"625=625\" It's true!
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, the given triangle is a right triangle, and does indeed contain a right angle.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I knew the answer before I did the math, using a secret about special triangles.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This triangle is of the form 3:4:5, which is a Pythagorean Triple.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANY triangle with sides in the ratio 3:4:5 is a right triangle.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Another popular Pythagorean Triple is 5:12:13
\r
