b) Verify whether 7, 24, and 25 form a Pythagorean triplet.
Answers
Answer:
Verified
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angled triangle.
Therefore assume c as hypotenuse,c=25m
opposite side as a, it can either be 7 or 24, your choice. I'll assume a=7m
adjacent side as b, b=24m
Pythagoras theorem= a^2+b^2=c^2
(7)^2+(24)^2=(25)^2
49 + 576 =625
625=625
L.H.S=R.H.S
THEREFORE 7,24 &25 is a Pythagorean triplet
By using Pythagoras Theorem...
☯ (HYPOTENUSE)² = (SIDE)² + (SIDE)²
Let,
- PQ = 7 cm.
- PR = 24 cm
- QR = 25 cm.
➡ (QR)² = (PQ)² + (PR)²
➡ (25)² = (24)² + (7)²
➡ 625 = 576 + 49
➡ 625 = 625
Therefore, RHS = LHS. Hence, it is verified.
