Pythagoras' theorem is only applicable to a right angle triangle in that the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its two squared sides.

A triangle with sides of lengths 10 24 and 27 is a right triangle true or false?
True because it complies with Pythagoras' theorem.
Does the Pythagorean relationship hold true for a right triangle with side length that are not whole number explain how?
yes
A2 plus b2 equals c2 is pythagoreans theorem?
A squared plus B squared equals C squared, where C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and A and B are the other two sides is true and is one way of expressing the Pythagorean Theorem.
The LL theorem states that for two triangles two congruent legs are sufficient to prove congruence of the triangles?
You left out one very important detail . . . the statement is true for a RIGHT triangle.
A triangle with sides of lengths 20 21 and 29 is a right triangle?
True
Does the theorem from the pythagorean theorem hold true if the triangle is not a right triangle?
No, it does not hold true unless the triangle has an angle of 90 degrees. In a triangle that is not a right triangle, there is no hypotenuse, just three different legs, so you cannot choose the square of one side to be equal to the squares of each of the other two sides.
A triangle with sides of lengths 10 24 and 27 is a right triangle true or false?
True because it complies with Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the only type of triangle the Pythagorean Theorem can be used on without being given any other measurements besides the sides?
Simply because the Pythagorean Theorem is not true for any triangle that doesn't have a right angle in it. If a triangle has a right angle in it, then it satisfies the Theorem. If it hasn't, then it doesn't. And if it satisfies the Theorem, then it has a right angle in it, and if it doesn't, then it hasn't.
True or false A triangle with sides of lengths 16 30 and 35 is a right triangle?
False because it does not comply with Pythagoras' theorem.
Who developed the theory a plus b equals c?
A Mathematician named Pythagorean. That is why it is called Pythagorean's theorem. For every right triangle, this theorem will be true.
The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse.?
The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle and it is opposite the right angle. It is always opposite the right angle and is found by using the Pythagorean theorem.
Why does the LL theorem hold for proving right triangles congruent?
That's only true if the "legs" are indeed legs, i.e. the triangle is a right triangle, and the legsinclude a 90-degree angle.
What is a hypotenuse theorem?
If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding part of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. ========================================== Another contributor, in shock, stopped by to point out: That may (or may not) be a "hypotenuse theorem", but you really need to be careful trying to use it, because it's not true!
Is 7 8 12 a right triangle?
7, 8 & 12 are the sides of the triangle.And, for a right angled triangle the Pythagoras theorem is always applicable!Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle:(Longest Side)2 = (Side-1)2 + (Side-2)2(Longest side is called as the hypotenuse).So, using data in the question:If its a right angled triangle--->122 = 72 + 82i.e. 144 = 49 + 64 => 144 = 113, which is clearly not true!Hence, the triangle with the given sides is not a right triangle.
What is triangle sum theorem?
The theorem that the three angles of a triangle can be added up to equal 180 degrees. Don't confuse this with a theory, however; this has been proven true.
What is the Converse of isosceles triangle theorem?
The isosceles triangle theorem states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite of them are congruent. The converse of this theorem states that if two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides that are opposite of them are congruent.
Is it true that the measureof the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the side measures squared?
Yes providing that it is a right angle triangle in accordance with Pythagoras' theorem
