Explanation of Solution
Given Information: A triangle with sides 2xy,
Any triangle is said to be right triangle, if one of the three
If the triangle is acute, then
If the triangle is obtuse, then
In the given case, three sides are given as 2xy,
Considering the right hand side of the expression in (1) and expanding it based on the algebraic expansion
Now, expanding the left-hand side of the expression in (1) for the given sides,
It can be seen that, the given sides satisfies the Pythagoras theorem in (1) and hence it is proved that they always form the sides of a right triangle with
