Right Triangles

Move point C and observe the relationship between a²+b² and c².

What kind of triangle exists when the value of a²+b²=c²?

What kind of triangle exists when the value of a²+b²>c²?

What kind of traingle exists when the value of c²>a²+b²?

Now use the segment tool to create an obtuse triangle, acute traingle and righ triangle.
