Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To test if this is a right triangle, let's test these side lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle.
a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
a = 7
b = 15
c = 17
7^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 ?
49 + 225 = 289 ?
274 ≠ 289
Thus, this triangle is not a right triangle since it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
have a good day :)
