The set {10 , 24 , 26} formed a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to check the sides lengths which formed a  

 right triangle

- In triangle ABC

# If AC is the longest side in length

# If (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

∴ AB , BC , AC formed a right angle triangle  

∴ m∠B = 90°  (The angle opposite to the longest side)

∴ AC is the hypotenuse

* Now lets solve the problem

- In set 8 , 12 , 15

∵ The longest side is 15 cm

∴ (15)² = 225

∵ (8)² + (12)² = 64 + 144 = 208

∵ (15)² ≠ (8)² + (12)²

∴ The set not formed a right triangle

- In set 10 , 24 , 26

∵ The longest side is 26 cm

∴ (26)² = 676

∵ (10)² + (24)² = 100 + 576 = 676

∵ (26)² = (10)² + (24)²

∴ The set formed a right triangle

- In set 12 , 20 , 25

∵ The longest side is 25 cm

∴ (25)² = 625

∵ (12)² + (20)² = 144 + 400 = 544

∵ (25)² ≠ (12)² + (20)²

∴ The set not formed a right triangle

- In set 15 , 18 , 20

∵ The longest side is 20 cm

∴ (20)² = 400

∵ (15)² + (18)² = 225 + 324 = 549

∵ (20)² ≠ (15)² + (18)²

∴ The set not formed a right triangle

* The set {10 , 24 , 26} formed a right triangle
