Identifying Right Triangle

Medium Geometry Triangles

Triangle ABC has sides measuring 10 cm, 24 cm, and 26 cm.

Determine whether triangle ABC is a right triangle. To check if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle with sides of length $a$, $b$, and hypotenuse $c$, the following relationship holds:

$$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $$

Here, identify the longest side to be treated as the hypotenuse, and verify the equation.
