A right triangle is on that contains a right angle, that is, an angle of 90°. The side
opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.
The Pythagorean Theorem
In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
the squares of the lengths of the legs.

Example: The Pythagorean Theorem
Show that a triangle whose sides are of lengths 6, 8, and 10 is a right triangle.
We square the length of the sides:
2 2 26 36 8 64 10 100= = =
Notice that the sum of the first two squares (36 and 64) equals the third square (100). Hence the triangle is a right triangle, since it satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
In a triangle, if the square of the length of one side equals the sums of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle. The 90 degree angle is opposite the longest side.
