Question

Do the following sets of sides of a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem: 4,5,7?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

With a right triangle the hypotenuse is always the longest side. So the relation to satisfy is . `c^2=a^2+b^2`.,where c= length of longest side and a,b are the lengths of other two sides However this does not hold good here,since

`7^2>4^2+5^2`
