My question:
Are the following numbers a Pythagorean Triple? 9, 21, 25 (you must show your work and explain, if they are or are not a Pythagorean triple)
Answer: If the 3 numbers form a Pythagorean triple, then the largest must be the hypotenuse
and 9^2 + 21^2 = 25^2
Is that true?
9^2 + 21^2
= 81 + 441 = 522
and 25^2 = 625 , so I guess they don't form a Pythagorean triple.
Convert my solution to your problem.
Are the following numbers a Pythagorean Triple? 10, 24, 23 (you must show your work and explain, if they are or are not a Pythagorean triple)
