Question

Are 20, 25 and 30 an example of a Pythagorean triplet? Yes or No, Explain your answer and show work.

Answer 1

does the sum of the smaller squares equal the larger square?

Answer 2

also, scaling them down might be prdent if doing it by hand

Answer 3

20, 25 and 30 -> 4, 5, and 6

work the smaller set

Answer 4

No, the given numbers are not Pythagorean Triplets. following is the reason
\[30^2=900------(1)\]
\[20^2 +25^2=400 + 625 = 1025----(2)\]
From eq (1) and (2) it is clear that
\[30^2 \neq 20^2 + 25^2\]
Thus given numbers are not Pythagorean triplet.
