Question

Use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to determine if the three given side lengths form a right triangle.
14 cm, 48 cm, 50 cm

Answer 1

Please help me with this one i don't understand it.

Answer 2

pythagorean theory is a^+b^=c^ c is the hypotenuse (longest leg of triangle)
so does the square of 14 + the square of 48 = the square of 50?

Answer 3

so what you are saying is to take the square root of 14 then add that to the square root of 48 and see if it equals the square root of 50?

Answer 4

yes
