Question

Do the segment lengths 15, 12, and 9 form a right triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, 15, 12 and 9 form a right triangle

Explanation:

If the segments form a right triangle, then the square of the longest side (hypotenuse), 15 is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs, 12 and 9

$15^2=225$$12^2+9^2=225$

Since

$15^2=12^2+9^2$

Pythagorean rule is satisfied, and hence, they form a right triagle
