you have to use Pythagorean theorem $\huge\rm a^2 +b^2 =c^2$ remember c is the longest side of right triangle so plug in a b c values then solve if both sides are equal then yes :-)

3. Liv1234

Wait so, 20^2+24^2=c^2?

4. Nnesha

substitute c value

5. Liv1234

I don't think they are equal. So, I think the answer would be no.

6. Liv1234

But, would I be correct in saying that?

7. Nnesha

well use calculator and tell me i'm 1000% sure

8. Liv1234

I'm confused, so 20^2+24^2=30^2?1

9. Nnesha

31 not 30

10. Liv1234

Oh oops.

11. Nnesha

now solve both sides if both sides are equal then yes if both sides are not equal then no

12. Liv1234

Well, 31^2=961 and 20^2+24^2=976.

13. Nnesha

okay what about 20^2+24^2 = ?? take square and then add up

14. Liv1234

20^2+24^2=976

15. Nnesha

yes so 31^2 ??

16. Liv1234

961

17. Liv1234

18. anonymous

A^2 or 20^2 is 400 B^2 or 24^2 is 576 C^2 or 31^2 is 961 400+576=976 not 961

19. Nnesha

yep

20. Liv1234

Can you help me with another question?

21. Nnesha
