Consider this triangle with the given lengths. A triangle has side lengths 40, 9, 41. Apply the converse of the pythagorean theorem to determine if it’s a right triangle. Is the triangle a right triangle? No, 92+402=412. No, 9 squared + 40 squared not-equals 41 squared Yes, 92+402=412. Yes, 9 squared + 40 squared not-equals 41 squared
