The triangle above is a right triangle with side lengths a = 7 in, b = 24 in, and c= 25 in.
Which statement is true?

Answer:
the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides is equal to the square of the third and longer side.
The sum of the squares of the two smaller sides is equal to the square of the third side.
A triangle is a 3-sided shape that is occasionally referred to as a triangle. There are three sides and three angles in every triangle, some of which may be the same.
The sum of all three angles inside a triangle will be 180° and the area of a triangle is given as (1/2) × base × height.
There are many types of triangles such that right angle triangle, equilateral triangle, and much more.
Given,
Δabc is a right-angle triangle
By Pythagoras theorem
Hyp² = perp² + base²
Here
Hyp = c (longer side)
Pepe and base = a and b
So,
c² = a² + b²
(Longer side)² = a² + b²
Hence, The sum of the squares of the two smaller sides is equal to the square of the third side.
