What does the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem state?

• In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs

• The ratio of the circumference of a circle to the length of its diameter

• A set of three positive integers a, b, and c such that a²+b²=c²
