Use the Pythagorean theorem to find out if the
triangle is a right angle.
Does it work? a² + b² = c²
22² + 32² = 55²
484 + 1024 = 3025

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, you are correct. According to the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides (legs) is equal to the square of the length of the longest side (hypotenuse). So, if a triangle satisfies the equation a² + b² = c², where a, b, and c are the lengths of its sides, then it is a right triangle. In your example, 22² + 32² = 484 + 1024 = 1508, which is not equal to 55² = 3025. Therefore, the triangle is not a right triangle.
