12) Verify whether (3,4,5) is Pythagorean triplet
or not
plz tell full explanation
Answers
Answer:
yes.(3, 4, 5) is a pythagorean triplet.
3, 4 and 5 are forming a Pythagorean Triplet
Explanation:
There are two ways to verify whether (3, 4, 5) is a Pythagorean Triplet.
so, Let's Verify
Method 1
Since a Pythagorean Triplet have numbers in following forms
2x, x² - 1 and x² + 1
Suppose if 2x = 4 from (3, 4, 5)
Therefore we could say x = 2
Therefore by applying the value of x in other forms of Pythagorean Triplet we get
(2)²-1 = 4 - 1 = 3
Here in the above equation we observe that we get one of the value from the given Triplet i.e 3
Now we are moving towards third form
(2)² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
Here we see that we got another value matching with one Number to our given Triplet
Here we now come to Conclusion that (3, 4, 5) is a Pythagorean Triplet
since all it's values are in form as Pythagorean Triplet usualy do. i.e
2x = 4
x² - 1 = 3
& x² +1 = 5
That is how I Verified it in First Shot....
Now we are in need to move towards the
Method 2
We can check whether the given Triplet follows the Pythagoras theorem
x² + y² = z²
where x = 3,
y = 4,
& z = 5
So, in order to verify if the given Triplet suites this theorem We need to verify whether
LHS = RHS
where LHS = x² + y²
RHS = z²
therefore we get
LHS = 3² + 4⁴
= 9 + 16
= 25
RHS = 5²
= 25
Here we get LHS = RHS
Thus we can say the given Triplet (3, 4, 5) follows the Pythagoras Theorem.
and Therefore (3, 4, 5) is a Pythagorean Triplet....
Hope I made it clear....
