Proving the converse of the Pythagorean theorem means that if the ———- of the squares of the length of the ——- sides of the triangle equals the square of the length of the ——- side then the triangle is a right triangle
Word choice sum , longest, similar,shorter product square congruent

Answer 1

Explanation:

sqrt(169) = ±13

13*13 = 169

(-13)*(-13) = 169

Proving the converse of the Pythagorean theorem means proving that if the sum of the squares of the lengths of the shorter sides of a triangle equals the square of the length of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

This is the Pythagorean theorem

a and b are the shorter sides and c is the longer side
