Explanation:
1)
c 2 = 25 2 = 625
a 2 + b 2 = 7 2 + 24 2
=49+576=625
Since c 2 = a 2 + b 2
(right triangle)
2)
c 2 = 18 2 = 324
a 2 + b 2 = 9 2 + 16 2
=81+256=337
Since c 2 a 2 + b 2
(not right triangle)
3)
c 2 = 4 2 = 16
a 2 + b 2 = 3.8 2 + 1.6 2
=14.44+2.56=17
Since
c 2 a 2 + b 2
(not right triangle)
4)
c 2 = 10 2 = 100
a 2 + b 2 = 8 2 + 6 2
=64+36=100
Since
c 2 = a 2 + b 2
(right triangle)
