a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Is this correct?

12.5^2 + 30^2 = 32.5^2

so how to do i find out if its a right triangle?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Do the math. (a^2 means a squared)

If that equation is correct, the triangle is a right triangle. If it's wrong, it is not a right triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.
