a = 17, b = 24, c = 26
verify if the sides form a right triangle.
yes
no

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

For a right triangle, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, where $c$ is the longest side.

Step2: Calculate $a^2 + b^2$

$17^2 + 24^2 = 289 + 576 = 865$

Step3: Calculate $c^2$

$26^2 = 676$

Step4: Compare the two values

$865
eq 676$, so the theorem fails.

Answer:

○ no
