Its been a while and i have forgotten how to find out if a triangle is a right one by using the converse of the Pythagorean theorem (a squared+b squared=c squared).
An example: a=24 b=10 c=26
Explain detailed or provide a good site
Thanks, James

Hello!
Recall the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 24, b = 10, c = 26
Substitute:
==> 24^2 + 10^2 = 26^2
==> 576 + 100 = 676
==> 676 = 676
Since 676 = 676, it is a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Mr.Math

you need to devide the opposite.
A=24
B=10
C=26
now divide 24 with 10, then subtract 26, member to show you work
