Question:
Is the triangle with sides 25 cm, 5 cm and 24 cm a right triangle? Give reason for your answer.
Solution:
False
Let a = 25 cm, b = 5 cm and c =24 cm
Now, b2 + c2 = (5)2 + (24)2
= 25+ 576 = 601 ≠ (25)2
Hence, given sides do not make a right triangle because it does not satisfy the property of Pythagoras theorem.
