Malcolm wants to prove the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. He takes the following steps.
He draws a triangle with side lengths and , such that .
Then, he draws a second triangle with sides lengths and , such that sides and form a 90-degree angle.
Finally, he uses the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of , the third side of the second triangle. He finds that .
What can Malcolm conclude from these steps?
