Question

3,4,x and 7,24,y are pythagorean triples then x+y=​

Answer 1

Given:

3,4,x and 7,24,y are Pythagorean triples

To find:

the value of x+y

Solution:

the given terms are the Pythagorean triplet so they must satisfy the formula for the Pythagorean sides

P²+B² = H²

For the triplet 3,4,x

• 3²+4² = x²
• x² = 9+16
• x² = 25
• x = 5

For the triplet 7, 24, y

• 7²+24² = y²
• 49+576 =y²
• y² = 625
• y = 25

The value of the expression x+y is given by:

• 5+25
• 30

The value of x+y is 30
