Which number completes the Pythagorean triple: 12,16, ?
A.18
B.20
C.22
D.24
Is the answer D?
Answered by Brady
No.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = ?^2

Now plug in 18 as c.

12^2 + 16^2 = 18^2

144 + 256 = 324

400 = 324

18 is not the answer.

Second Try:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

Now plug in 20 as c.

12^2 + 16^2 = 20^

144 + 256 = 400

400 = 400

So, B is the correct answer.

I hope this helps! :)
