A triangle has sides of length A, B and C. [Figure of a triangle with sides A, B, C] In this example, A is the length of the longest side. This triangle is said to be right-angled if the following equation is true: A x A = (B x B) + (C x C) A procedure will be written to check whether three lengths represent a right-angled triangle. The lengths will be input in any sequence. The procedure IsRA () will: • prompt and input three integer values representing the three lengths • test whether the three lengths correspond to the sides of a right-angled triangle • output a suitable message. The length of the longest side may not be the first value input.
