Question

MEDAL & FAN ANYBODY ?
Which of the following sets is a Pythagorean triple?
a. 5, 6,7
b. 6,7,8
c. 5,12, 13
d. 12, 13, 14

Answer 1

*not a*

Answer 2

C) 5,12,13

Answer 3

keep trying, does \(a^2+b^2=c^2\) ... where \(c \) is the largest of the 3 numbers

Answer 4

from practice we know its C
to determine you would square the largest number if this is the same as the sum of the squares of the other 2 numbers then you have a pythagorean triple

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is the largest number in the set
