Question

Which of the following triplets are Pythagorean?

a)(8,15,17) b)(12,35,38) c) (14,48,51)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A triplet (a, b, c) is called Pythagorean if the sum of the squares of the two smallest numbers is equal to the square of the biggest number. Hence, (8, 15, 17) is a Pythagorean triplet. Hence, (18, 80, 82) is a Pythagorean triplet. Hence, (14, 48, 51) is not a Pythagorean triplet.

Answer 2

Answer:

8,15,17 is the correct answer.
