GPT 3.5
Yes, the numbers 5, 12, and 13 form a right triangle. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Using the Pythagorean theorem:
5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13^2
Since the equation holds true, we can conclude that the numbers 5, 12, and 13 form a right triangle.
5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13^2
Since the equation holds true, we can conclude that the numbers 5, 12, and 13 form a right triangle.
