We know that if the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of other two sides, then it is a right triangle
(i) Sides of a triangle are a = 7 cm, b = 5.24 cm and c = 25 cm
(Longest side)² = (25)² = 625
Sum of square of shorter sides = (7)² + (24)² = 49 + 576 = 625
625 = 625
This is right triangle
(ii) Sides of the triangle are a = 9 cm, b = 16 cm, c = 18 cm
(Longest side)² = (18)² = 324
and sum of squares of shorter sides = (9)² + (16)² = 81 + 256 = 337
324 ≠ 337
It is not a right-angled triangle
(iii) Sides of the triangle are a = 1.6 cm, 6 = 3.8 cm, c = 4 cm
(Longest side)² = (4)² =16
Sum of squares of shorter two sides + (1.6)² + (3.8)² = 2.56 + 14.44 = 17.00
16 ≠ 17
It is not a right triangle
(iv) Sides of the triangle are a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm, c = 6 cm
(Longest side)² = (10)² = 100
Sum of squares of shorter sides = (8)² + (6)² = 64 + 36 = 100
100 = 100
It is a right triangle
