The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
Right triangle (apex)
If it weren't, it wouldn't have a hypotenuse!
Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.Converse: If the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a triangle, then it is a right triangle.
Yes. If the square of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, then the triangle is right angled.
That it is a right triangle with the longest side c facing the right angle.
The Pythagorean theorem, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the hypotenuse, can be used to find the distance between two points. This means that it can also be used to find the equation of a line.
Pythagorean triplets
In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Additionally, the converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
The converse is, "If a triangle is isosceles, then it is equilateral." Neither is true.
