Pythagorean Relationship

1.
a2 + b2 + c2.

Means leg (a2) + leg (b2) = the hypotenuse

2.
12 cm side is A and the 5 cm is B.
We need to find C.

C2=A2+B2
C2=12cm2+5cm2
C2=144cm2+25cm2
C2=169cm2

Now you have to find the square root.

Answer - 13 cm2

3.

To find if it is right triangle it must apply a2+b2=c2.

8cm - a
6cm - b
11cm - c

c2=a2+b2
c2=8cm2+6cm2
c2=642+362
c2=100cm2

Square root 100.
= 10

No it is not a right triangle.
