Determine whether a Triangle with side lengths of 10, 24 and 26 is a Right Triangle

A Right Triangle must satisfy the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
From the given side lengths, let a = 10, b = 24, c = 26  (c cannot be less than a or b)
a2 + b2 = (10)2 + (24)2
a2 + b2 = 100 + 576 = 676
c2 = (26)2 = 676
a2 + b2 = c2  (676 = 676)
Therefore, a Triangle with side lengths of 10, 24 and 26 is a Right Triangle
Note: Since the side lengths are positive integers, they are a Pythagorean Triple
