Question
The sides of some triangles are given below. Find out which ones are right-angled triangles ? : 8,15,17
✓
Answer
8² = 64, 15² = 225, 17² = 289
Now, 64 + 225 = 289
∴ 8² + 15² = 17²
The above expression is of the from (hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (height)²
∴ The sides of lengths 8,15,17 will form a right-angled triangle.
Now, 64 + 225 = 289
