Math problem

[AniJan]

So,

how do you determine if a hypotenuse is real or not?

Example: a=4 b=5 c=2

[Dash Lambda]

Do you mean if the hypotenuse is correct?

'Cause it's always the longest side, which would make the example incorrect. Other than that, you just see if it equals the real hypotenuse...

Let x and y be the two shortest sides, and z the longest. Check if x^2 + y^2 = z^2. If true, then the hypotenuse is "real".

There's no hypotenuse because it's NOT a right triangle. Are you sure you copied the right question?

No stylus needed
