• no

Do the segment lengths 15, 12, and 9 form a right triangle?

• Yes

• No

• Maybe

• Pythagoras

The two sides of a right triangle that form the right angle; the two smaller sides of a right triangle

• Square Root

• Hypotenuse

• Leg

• Pythagorean Theorem

If the sum of the squares of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the length of the third side, then the triangle is a right triangle

• Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem (Proof)

• Square Root

• Pythagorean Theorem

• Hypotenuse

In a right triangle, if a = 8 and c = 17, what is the correct setup to find the value of b?
