Thanks

Answer 4

whats 15 squared?

Answer 5

Answer 6

Idk

Answer 7

well then, idk how to help you sir.

Answer 8

Then why even come here

Answer 9

why even study math when you dont know what 5 squared is?

Answer 10

Who said I study math?

Answer 11

ohh my bad. you just copy answers from here

Answer 12

anyways farewell

Answer 13

A right triangle will follow the following rule

\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

Where 'a' and 'b' are the legs and 'c' is the hypotenuse



The hypotenuse is always the side across from the right angle, or the 90 degree angle



The length of the hypotenuse is always greater than the sides. This is because the sum of the square of both the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

So we know that 5 and 8 are the "legs."

15 must be the hypotenuse. But we must test if it is mathematically correct.

So,

\[5^2 + 8^2 = 15^2\]
\[25 + 64 = 225\]
\[89 = 225\]

This is not equal. Therefore these measurements are not that of a right triangle.

Also if you don't know what "squaring" is, it's basically this:

\[15^2 = 15 \times 15\]
\[8^2 = 8 \times 8\]
\[5^2 = 5 \times 5\]
