If a triangle has sides measuring 60, 75 and 45 is it a right triangle?

To determine if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the sides of the triangle measure 60, 75 and 45. If we arrange them from smallest to largest, we have sides of 45, 60, and 75.

Now we can check if this triangle is a right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem:

45^2 + 60^2 = 2025 + 3600 = 5625
75^2 = 5625

Since these two values are equal, the triangle with sides of 45, 60, and 75 is a right triangle.
