sing the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, explain whether a triangle with sides 15, 10, and 12 is a right triangle.(1 point) Responses No, because 22 is not equal to 15. No, because 22 is not equal to 15. No, because 369 is not equal to 100. No, because 369 is not equal to 100. No, because 325 is not equal to 144. No, because 325 is not equal to 144. No, because 244 is not equal to 225.
Yes, because 225 is equal to 225. By using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, if the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle. In this case, 15^2 + 10^2 = 225 + 100 = 325 and 12^2 = 144. Since 325 is equal to 144, the triangle with sides 15, 10, and 12 is a right triangle.
