yes
no

Answer 1

256 + 900=1156
so yes

Answer 2

## Using Python 3.+ I wrote this. You can copy and paste into IDLE
## If the 1st 2 sides squared don't equal the longest side squared it won't be right triangle
side1 = float(input("enter shortest side "))
side2 = float(input("enter 2nd shortest side "))
side3 = float(input("enter longest side "))
if side1**2 + side2**2 == side3**2:
print ("yep, it's a right triangle")
else:
print ("sorry, no Pythagoras for you")

Answer 3

nice^^... but i'd rather the message be "you're depending on me too much... do your own math"... for both branches.....:)
