Could someone explain this to me??
Find what looks to be a right triangle in the real world around you. Example, a ladder leaning against a wall. The ladder, the wall, and the ground form a right triangle.

Measure the three sides of the triangle. Be sure to record the measurements for 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse in centimeters.

Using the measurements you found and the Pythagorean theorem, a2+b2=c2, determine if the triangle is indeed a right triangle. You will need to show your work on this step. Be sure to record whether it was indeed a right triangle or not.
