If a right triangle has sides 5, 12, and 13 units, then a triangle with sides 10, 24, and 26 is also a right triangle.

true or false?

1 answer

True.

Both triangles follow the Pythagorean theorem, as \(5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2\) and \(10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2\), which means both triangles are right triangles.
