Question

ABC has side lengths 18,24, and 30. Do the side lengths form a pythagorean triple?

Answer 1

in a pythagorean triple:

a^2 + b^2 = c^3, where c is the hypotenuse (biggest side in a right triangle) and a and b are the legs

applying this logic to your problem:

does 18^2 + 24^2 = 30^2? if yes ---> pythagorean triple, if no ---> not a pythagorean triple

Answer 2

@Mercury there is c^2 not c^3 sorry just a little attention ....

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 you wrote c^3

Answer 3

ah yes, thank you

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 not c^3

Answer 4

np

Answer 5

@Joselyne00 do you understand ?

Answer 6

pythagorean triplet are 3,4,5 for example because

3^2 +4^2 = 5^2 yes ?

9 +16 = 25

do you understand it now ?

Answer 7

make the calcule

18^2 = ?
24^2 = ?
30 ^2 = ?
