Question

Triangle ABC has side lengths 7, 24, and 25. Do the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple? Explain.

Answer 1

Does 7^2+24^2=25^2?

Answer 2

25^2 = 625
7^2 + 24^2 = 625

so the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple since
25^2 = 7^2+24^2,

Answer 3

for a Pythagorean triplet, sum of squares of the two smaller numbers has to be equal to the the square of the third number
