Does this set of numbers form a Pythagorean triple? Explain please. :)

4,5,6

anonymous · Answer

no it does not. for it to form a pythagorean triangle it would have to conform with this rule -
a^2+b^2=c^2.
the longer side , in this case 6, is the hypotenuse, represented by c in the equation above. 
so it follows ; 4^2+5^2=41.
6^2 = 36
therefore 4^2 + 5^2 does not equal 6^2
