[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a is a leg b is another leg c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Leg a = 7

Leg b = 16

Hypotenuse c = 18

Step 2: Check

Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                            7² + 16² = 18²[Pythagorean Theorem] Evaluate exponents:                                                49 + 256 = 324[Pythagorean Theorem] Add:                                                                          305 ≠ 324

Since we know that 305 does not equal 324, that means the side lengths do not form a Pythagorean triple.

The answer is 2(x-2+y)
