Question

Triangle ABC has side lengths 3, 4, and 5. Do the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple? Explain.

Answer 1

If you can show that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is true, where a,b,c are the sides of the triangle (c is the longest side), then a,b,c is a pythagorean triple and they form a right triangle.

Answer 2

So in this case, a = 3, b = 4, c = 5

Answer 3

Plug them into the equation and see if it holds true.
