Question

ABC has side lengths 20,24, and 31. Do the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple?

Answer 1

Does A^2 + B^2 = C^2?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\( 20^2 * 24^2= 31^2 ? \)

Answer 4

here \(C>B,A\)

Answer 5

Then t forms a triple

Answer 6

So 20 * 20 =400
and 24*24= 576

Answer 7

But A^2 + B^2 does not equal C^2

Answer 8

it should be this

\(20^2 \color{red}{+} 24^2= 31^2 ?\)

Answer 9

\(576+400= 976\)

Answer 10

the answer choices are yes or no

Answer 11

Oops didnt see that thanks @mathmath333

Answer 12

Ok so \(A^2+B^2 = 976 \) does C^2 = 976 ? If not then it is no.

Answer 13

So does \(31*31=976\) ?

Answer 14

@billyjean ?

Answer 15

yes it equals to 976

Answer 16

No no no it does not lets multiply it again and see what it turns out to be.
