Question 974642: Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine if a triangle with sides 15 centimeters, 33 centmeters, and 34 centimeters is a right triangle Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the legs should equal the square of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side.
a² + b² = c²
15² + 33² = 34² {substituted given sides into the Pythagorean Theorem}
225 + 1089 = 1156 {evaluated exponents}
1314 does not equal 1156 {added}
