Question

A triangle has sides with lengths of

8 millimeters, 15 millimeters, and
17 millimeters. Is it a right triangle?
yes
no

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you would square 8, 15, and 17. 8^2 is 64. 15^2 is 225. If you add those, you get 289. Now, 17^2 is 289. Because 289=289, it is a square triangle.
