Kendra wrote the Pythagorean relationship as r ^ 2 = p ^ 2 + q ^ 2 for the triangle shown. Is she correct? Explain.

In the Pythagorean relationship,
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs of the right angle
From the given figure
The hypotenuse is P
The two legs of the right angle are q and r
Then the Pythagorean relationship should be
[tex]p^2=r^2+q^2[/tex]Then she is not correct because she put r as the hypotenuse of the triangle and p, q are the legs of the right angle.
