Shoshanna says that a triangle with side lengths 17m,8m and 15m is not a right triangle because 17 squared plus 8 squared equals 353, 15 squared equals 225, and 353 does not equal 225. Is she correct? Explain.
Shoshanna is not correct to find if a right triangle is actually a right triangle you have to do the two smaller values squared equals the larger value squared (a²+b²=c²)
correct way to solve this problem: a²+b²=c² 8²+15²+17² 64+225=289 289=289 so, this triangle is a right triangle
