Pythagorean Theorem states that given a right triangle, then a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2
converse is : if the sides of a triangle are related by a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2, then it must be a right triangle.
So does 10%5E2+%2B+24%5E2+=+26%5E2
Now just grind out the arithmetic
yepper. So it is a right triangle
