Theorem 7.5 Converse of the Pythagorean theorem If the sum of the square of the measures of two sides of a triangle equals the square of the measure of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle. If a 2 + b 2 = c 2, then ∆ABC is a right triangle. a C B A b c
Tell whether it is a right triangle:
Determine if the triangle is Right, Acute, or Obtuse Right: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Acute: a 2 + b 2 > c 2 Obtuse: a 2 + b 2 < c 2 Try these: 1) a=10, b=15, c=20 2) a=2, b=5, c=6 3) a=12, b=16, c=20 4) a=11, b=12, c=14 5) a=2, b=3, c=4 6) a=1, b=7, c=7 7) a=90, b=120, c=150
