Question

Which of the following sets of numbers satisfy the conditions to be a "Pythagorean Triple?"

Answer 1

3,6,7 5,12, 13 5,7,8 12,24,25 all of the above

Answer 2

The pythagorean theorem states:
\[a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\]
so substituting in the numbers you have:
3^2 + 6^2 = 7^2
9+36=49
45=49
which is false so the first set does not work.
See if you can try the other sets following the example.

Answer 3

being a carpenter tells me 5-12-13

Answer 4

so that is why you're good at Geometry.

Answer 5

5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169
So it is the 5, 12, 13
