Tell whether the triangle with the given sides lengths is a right triangle

If this is a right triangle, then where c is the hypotenuse which is ALWAYS THE LONGEST SIDE.  Our longest side is 5, so we will set up Pythagorean's Theorem to see if the addition of the squares of a and b = the square of c: .  Squaring all of that and adding on the left gives us 25=25.  Because this is true, we have proven the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem here and this is a right triangle.

It is important because sometimes ur dna needs to multiply
