If a triangle has side lengths a b and c and if a2 plus b2 equals c2 then the says that the triangle is a right triangle?

no because even if a2 and b2 both add up to c2, it doesnt mean that they are the same length. one could be long and the other short but still add up to c2. a2 and c2 have to be equal to be a right angle.

If a triangle has side lengths a b and c and if a2 plus b2 equals c2 then what does the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says about the triangle?
That it is a right triangle with the longest side c facing the right angle.
What do the side lengths on a right triangle add up to?
There's no general rule or pattern to that. The rule/pattern of the side lengths on a right triangle is: (the square of the length of the shortest side) plus (the square of the length of the medium side) adds up to (the square of the length of the longest side)
Given two sides with lengths 3x and 5x plus 4 which of the following lengths would NOT work for the third side of a triangle?
9x + 5
What does the Pythagorean Theorem state about the sides of a right triangle if the legs of triangle have the measurement of a and b and the hypotenuse of the triangle measures c?
a squared plus b squared equals c squared usually expressed as: a2+b2 = c2
What is the formula for finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
The forumal for finding the finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is square root of a squared plus b squared equals c. The letters a and b are the two sides that the length is known and the c is the unknown side.
If a triangle has side lengths a b and c and if a2 plus b2 equals c2 then what does the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says about the triangle?
That it is a right triangle with the longest side c facing the right angle.
What is a squared plus b squared equals c squared used for?
Pythagoras' theorem in finding the lengths of the sides of a right angled triangle.
The formula c2 equals a2 plus b2 tells the relationship between the lengths of the sides in a right triangle what is it known as?
The Theorem of Pythagoras.
What are the lengths of and A plus B in a right triangle if C equals 8?
A2 + B2 = C2 If C=8, then A2 + B2 = 64
If a2 plus b2 equals c2 then the triangle is?
a right triangle
What is the formula in triangle?
Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180 degrees. If one angle equals 90 degrees then it is a right triangle and the lengths of the sides are in a ratio such that A squared plus B squared equals C squared (Pythagorean Theorem)
Triangle plus triangle plus triangle equals square plus square equals hexagon what is its equivalent ni numbers?
24
If in a right triangle a is perpendicular and b is base and h is hypotenuse and an altitude p is drawn on p then is a plus b equals h plus p?
If a remains the right triangle, No
Who introduced a2 plus b2 equals c2?
Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
What do the side lengths on a right triangle add up to?
There's no general rule or pattern to that. The rule/pattern of the side lengths on a right triangle is: (the square of the length of the shortest side) plus (the square of the length of the medium side) adds up to (the square of the length of the longest side)
Triangle abc is a right triangle if ac equals 7 and side bc equals 10 what is ther measure of side ab?
The square root of 149 (7 squared plus 10 squared equals 149).
What do the side lengths of a triangle need to be to be considered a right triangle?
'A' squared, plus 'B' squared, must equal 'C' squared, but only if the 'C' side is the hypotenuse (long side). A right (or left) triangle MUST have ONE 90-degree angle.
