Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem • Theorem 7-5 Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem If the square of the length of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
Is the Triangle a Right Triangle? 85 13 84 50 16 48
Classifying as Right, Obtuse or Acute • Theorem 7-6 If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, the triangle is obtuse. If c2 > a2 + b2, the triangle is obtuse.
Classifying as Right, Obtuse or Acute • If a2 + b2 < c2, the triangle is obtuse • If a2 + b2 > c2, the triangle is acute • If a2 + b2 = c2, the triangle is a right triangle
