Theorems:Theorem 7.2: Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem:
If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is a RIGHT triangle.
In General: If c2 = a2 + b2 then is a RIGHT triangle.

Theorems:Theorem 7.3:If the square of the length of the
longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is an ACUTE triangle.
In General: If c2 < a2 + b2 then is an ACUTE triangle.

Theorems:Theorem 7.4:If the square of the length of the
longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is an OBTUSE triangle.
In General: If c2 > a2 + b2 then is an OBTUSE triangle.

Example 2Tell whether the the given side lengths of
a triangle can represent a right triangle

Example 3 aDecide if the segment lengths form a
triangle. If so, would the triangle be acute, obtuse, or right?
Must use Triangle Inequality Theorem to check the segments can make a triangle.Step
1:
Step 2:
c2 ? a2 +b2
24 + 30 = 54 30 + 39.34 = 69.34
So 54 > 39.34
= 39.34
So 69.34 > 24
24 + 39.34 = 63.34
So 63.34 > 30
? 242 + 302
2)436(1548 ? 576 + 9001548 ? 1476 so:1548 > 1476 so:The triangle is OBTUSEIs a triangle!

Example 3 bDecide if the segment lengths form a
triangle. If so, would the triangle be acute, obtuse, or right?
Must use Triangle Inequality Theorem to check the segments can make a triangle.Step
1:
Step 2:
c2 ? a2 +b2
8 + 10 = 18 10 + 12 = 22
So 18 > 12
So 22 > 8
8 + 12 = 20 So 20 > 10
122 ? 82 + 102
144 ? 64 + 100144 ? 164 so:
144 < 164 so:The triangle is ACUTEIs a triangle!

Example 4
8002 = 3052 + 7492
640,000 = 654,026
No, not directly north because it does not form a right triangle.
c = 800 ft
a = 305 ft
b = 749 ft 222 bac
In order to be directly north, there must be a RIGHT angle!
