\n" ); document.write( "to determine if sides of length \"3in\" , \"4in\" , and \"5in\" make a right triangle, use Pythagorean theorem:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as soon as I see the sides length, I say the answer is \"yes\", because it is a Pythagorean triple or triad (called \"the 3-4-5 triangle\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let \"3in\" be side \"a\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4in\" side \"b\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \"5in\" side \"c\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285in%29%5E2=%283in%29%5E2%2B%284in%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"25in%5E2=9in%5E2%2B16in%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"25in%5E2=25in%5E2\"=> so, \"3in\" , \"4in\" , and \"5in\" does make a right triangle \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
