Question

Show that the triplet (8,15,17)is Pythagorean triplet

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the base be 8cm, height be 15cm and hypotenuse be 17cm (hypotenuse is the longest side, so it will get longest measurement)

AB = 15cm

BC = 8cm

AC = 17cm

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

(AB)^2 + (BC)^2 = (AC)^2

15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2

225 + 64 = 289

289 = 289

LHS = RHS

hence proved
