Question

do these numbers make a right triangle?
9,12,14

Answer 1

No, the numbers 9, 12, and 14 do not make a right triangle. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. However, in this case, 9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225, which does not equal 14^2 (196). Therefore, these numbers do not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem and do not form a right triangle.
