Select the procedures that cannot be used to show the converse of the Pythagorean
theorem.
O A. If a + b = c, draw the two shorter sides, a and b, with a right angle
between them. The third side will fit to form a triangle.
B. If a, b, and care the sides of a triangle, draw a and bas the two shortest
sides and c as the longest side. If c> a+b, then the triangle formed is a
right triangle.
O c. If a2 + b2 = c2, draw the two shorter sides, a and b, with a right angle
between them. The third side, c, will fit to form a triangle.
D. If a2 + b2 = c2, draw any two of the sides with a right angle between them.
The third side will fit to form a triangle.
