Given Side Lengths: 36, 48, 60
A Right Triangle must satisfy the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
From the given side lengths, let a = 36, b = 48, c = 60 (c cannot be less than a or b)
a2 + b2 = (36)2 + (48)2
a2 + b2 = 1,296 + 2,304 = 3,600
c2 = (60)2 = 3,600
a2 + b2 = c2 (3,600 = 3,600)
Therefore, a Triangle with side lengths of 36, 48 and 60 is a Right Triangle
Note: Since the side lengths are positive integers, they are a Pythagorean Triple
