Is the triangle with sides 14cm, 12cm and 17cm a right triangle? Why?

Answer»

No, it is not a right angle triangle.

Explanation:

As we know, in a right-angled triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side. Of all the three sides given here, 17cm must be hypotenuse.

According to Pythagoras  theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (other side1)2 + (other side 2)2 
here, (17)2  is not equal to (12)2  +(14)2 
So the given triangle is not
right-angled triangle.
