Answer:

true

Explanation:

we can use the Pythagorean theorem to verify if the sum of the squares built on the legs is equal to the square built on the hypotenuse

36^2 + 15^2 = 39^2

1296 + 225 = 1521

1521 = 1521

the equality is verified so the answer is true

Answer:

True

Explanation:

We can sue the pythagorean theorem to verify. 15^2+36^2 should equal the longest side squared or 39^2. If we plug in the numbers, it checks out!
