Answer:

Yes, this is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse always have the highest number than base and perpendicular.

Hypotenuse ( h ) = 15

Base ( b ) = 9

Perpendicular ( p ) = 12

Let's see whether the given triangle is a right triangle or not

Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

Plugging the values,

[tex] {15}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {9}^{2} [/tex]

Evaluate the power

[tex]225 = 144 + 81[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex]225 = 225[/tex]

Hypotenuse is equal to the sum of perpendicular and base.

So , we can say that the given lengths of the triangle makes a right triangle.

Hope this helps..

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{Yes.}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], where [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are regular side lengths and [tex]c[/tex] is the hypotenuse.

  • The hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle and is assigned to the [tex]c[/tex]-variable.
  • The other two side lengths can be assigned to either [tex]a[/tex] or [tex]b[/tex] because of the commutative property: [tex]a + b = b + a[/tex].

Now, just substitute the side lengths into the formula and solve!

[tex]9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2[/tex]    Simplify the equation by taking each value to its power.

[tex]81 + 144 = 225[/tex]    Simplify by adding like terms.

[tex]225 = 255[/tex]

Therefore, this is indeed a right triangle.
