A right triangle is a triangle that has an interior angle of 90 degrees

So then square area is side lenght x side length = L^2

square C area = 154 cm^2 = L^ 2 ,

now find L , L is equal to √154 =

now square B area = L^2 = 10x 10= 100 cm^2

now square A area= L^2 = 144 cm^2

for the 3 squares to form a triangle then

AREA OF A + AREA OF B = AREA OF C

144 cm^ 2 + 100 cm^2 = (√154)^ 2

154 cm^2 = 154 ^ 1 cm^2

so then readily is checked that the triangle formed by the 3 squares is a right triangle.
