Which set of integers is a Pythagorean triple? A. 10, 24, 25 B. 9, 12, 21 C. 8, 15, 23 D. 6, 8, 10

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pythagorean triple's can never be made up of all odd numbers. Think about that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is the famous 3 - 4 - 5 right triangle in disguise as \(6,8,10\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer is D!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank y'all!

\[6^{2} + 8^{2} = 10^{2}\] \[64 + 36 = 100\] Are you OK ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um yeah why wouldn't i be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a Pythagorean triple is \[A^{2} + B^{2} = C^{2}\] So C is bigger than A and B. You check the biggest integer in the question set. After that, It is important to calculate questions. Do you understand? (I'm a poor English speaker.)
