Question 1

Prove that if a triangle has sides of lengths a, b, and c, and if a^2 + b^2 < c^2, then the triangle is not valid.

💡 Hint: Start by assuming the triangle is valid and proceed to demonstrate inconsistency.

Question 2

Demonstrate using proof by contrapositive that if an integer n is even, then n^2 is even.

💡 Hint: Work with definitions of odd and even integers to show results systematically.
