USE THE CONVERSE OF THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

With c as the longest side, fill in c2 = a2 + b2

Page 8: Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem 9.3 c =  10 c =  5.

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem9.3

USE THE CONVERSE OF THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

With c as the longest side, fill in c2 = a2 + b2

152 = 122 + 92

225 = 144 + 81

225 = 225

The triangle is a right triangle
