Using Pythagorean theorem check whether 37, 12, and 34 form a right triangle.
\By the Pythagorean theorem, , where c is the greater measure.
Since 37 is the greater measure, c = 37.
\ (Write the Pythagorean theorem)
(Substitute
)
(Evaluate powers)
(Add:
)
Since , the measures 37, 12, and 34 cannot form a right triangle.
Since they cannot be the measures of a triangle,
\they do not form Pythagorean triple.
The sides with the measures 37, 12 and 34 cannot form a right triangle.
\the measures 37, 12 and 34 do not form a Pthagorean triple.
